+
+		Advanced Linux Sound Architecture - Driver
+		==========================================
+			    Configuration guide
+
+
+Kernel Configuration
+====================
+
+To enable ALSA support you need at least to build the kernel with
+primary sound card support (CONFIG_SOUND).  Since ALSA can emulate OSS,
+you don't have to choose any of the OSS modules.
+
+Enable "OSS API emulation" (CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL) and both OSS mixer and
+PCM supports if you want to run OSS applications with ALSA.
+
+If you want to support the WaveTable functionality on cards such as
+SB Live! then you need to enable "Sequencer support"
+(CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER).
+
+To make ALSA debug messages more verbose, enable the "Verbose printk"
+and "Debug" options.  To check for memory leaks, turn on "Debug memory"
+too.  "Debug detection" will add checks for the detection of cards.
+
+Please note that all the ALSA ISA drivers support the Linux isapnp API
+(if the card supports ISA PnP).  You don't need to configure the cards
+using isapnptools.
+
+
+Creating ALSA devices
+=====================
+
+This depends on your distribution, but normally you use the /dev/MAKEDEV
+script to create the necessary device nodes.  On some systems you use a
+script named 'snddevices'.
+
+
+Module parameters
+=================
+
+The user can load modules with options. If the module supports more than
+one card and you have more than one card of the same type then you can
+specify multiple values for the option separated by commas.
+
+Prior to version 0.9.0rc4 options had a 'snd_' prefix. This was removed.
+
+  Module snd
+  ----------
+
+    The core ALSA module.  It is used by all ALSA card drivers.
+    It takes the following options which have global effects.
+
+    major	- major number for sound driver
+		- Default: 116
+    cards_limit
+		- limiting card index for auto-loading (1-8)
+		- Default: 1
+		- For auto-loading more than one card, specify this
+		  option together with snd-card-X aliases.
+    slots	- Reserve the slot index for the given driver.
+		  This option takes multiple strings.		
+		  See "Module Autoloading Support" section for details.
+  
+  Module snd-pcm-oss
+  ------------------
+
+    The PCM OSS emulation module.
+    This module takes options which change the mapping of devices.
+
+    dsp_map	- PCM device number maps assigned to the 1st OSS device.
+		- Default: 0
+    adsp_map	- PCM device number maps assigned to the 2st OSS device.
+		- Default: 1
+    nonblock_open
+		- Don't block opening busy PCM devices.  Default: 1
+
+    For example, when dsp_map=2, /dev/dsp will be mapped to PCM #2 of
+    the card #0.  Similarly, when adsp_map=0, /dev/adsp will be mapped
+    to PCM #0 of the card #0.
+    For changing the second or later card, specify the option with
+    commas, such like "dsp_map=0,1".
+
+    nonblock_open option is used to change the behavior of the PCM
+    regarding opening the device.  When this option is non-zero,
+    opening a busy OSS PCM device won't be blocked but return
+    immediately with EAGAIN (just like O_NONBLOCK flag).
+    
+  Module snd-rawmidi
+  ------------------
+
+    This module takes options which change the mapping of devices.
+    similar to those of the snd-pcm-oss module.
+
+    midi_map	- MIDI device number maps assigned to the 1st OSS device.
+		- Default: 0
+    amidi_map	- MIDI device number maps assigned to the 2st OSS device.
+		- Default: 1
+
+  Common parameters for top sound card modules
+  --------------------------------------------
+
+    Each of top level sound card module takes the following options.
+
+    index	- index (slot #) of sound card
+		- Values: 0 through 31 or negative
+		- If nonnegative, assign that index number
+                - if negative, interpret as a bitmask of permissible
+		  indices; the first free permitted index is assigned
+		- Default: -1
+    id		- card ID (identifier or name)
+		- Can be up to 15 characters long
+		- Default: the card type
+		- A directory by this name is created under /proc/asound/
+		  containing information about the card
+		- This ID can be used instead of the index number in
+		  identifying the card
+    enable  	- enable card
+		- Default: enabled, for PCI and ISA PnP cards
+
+  Module snd-adlib
+  ----------------
+
+    Module for AdLib FM cards.
+
+    port	- port # for OPL chip
+
+    This module supports multiple cards. It does not support autoprobe, so
+    the port must be specified. For actual AdLib FM cards it will be 0x388.
+    Note that this card does not have PCM support and no mixer; only FM
+    synthesis.
+
+    Make sure you have "sbiload" from the alsa-tools package available and,
+    after loading the module, find out the assigned ALSA sequencer port
+    number through "sbiload -l". Example output:
+
+      Port     Client name                       Port name
+      64:0     OPL2 FM synth                     OPL2 FM Port
+
+    Load the std.sb and drums.sb patches also supplied by sbiload:
+
+      sbiload -p 64:0 std.sb drums.sb
+
+    If you use this driver to drive an OPL3, you can use std.o3 and drums.o3
+    instead. To have the card produce sound, use aplaymidi from alsa-utils:
+
+      aplaymidi -p 64:0 foo.mid
+
+  Module snd-ad1816a
+  ------------------
+
+    Module for sound cards based on Analog Devices AD1816A/AD1815 ISA chips.
+
+    clockfreq   - Clock frequency for AD1816A chip (default = 0, 33000Hz)
+    
+    This module supports multiple cards, autoprobe and PnP.

+  Module snd-ad1848
+  -----------------
+
+    Module for sound cards based on AD1848/AD1847/CS4248 ISA chips.
+
+    port	- port # for AD1848 chip
+    irq		- IRQ # for AD1848  chip
+    dma1	- DMA # for AD1848 chip (0,1,3)
+    
+    This module supports multiple cards.  It does not support autoprobe
+    thus main port must be specified!!! Other ports are optional.

+
+    This module supports all ADB PCM channels, ac97 mixer, SPDIF, hardware
+    EQ, mpu401, gameport. A3D and wavetable support are still in development.
+    Development and reverse engineering work is being coordinated at
+    http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/openvortex/
+    SPDIF output has a copy of the AC97 codec output, unless you use the
+    "spdif" pcm device, which allows raw data passthru.
+    The hardware EQ hardware and SPDIF is only present in the Vortex2 and 
+    Advantage.
+
+    Note: Some ALSA mixer applications don't handle the SPDIF sample rate 
+           control correctly. If you have problems regarding this, try
+           another ALSA compliant mixer (alsamixer works).

+
+    The model name "genric" is treated as a special case.  When this
+    model is given, the driver uses the generic codec parser without
+    "codec-patch".  It's sometimes good for testing and debugging.
+
+    If the default configuration doesn't work and one of the above
+    matches with your device, report it together with the PCI
+    subsystem ID (output of "lspci -nv") to ALSA BTS or alsa-devel
+    ML (see the section "Links and Addresses").
+
+    power_save and power_save_controller options are for power-saving
+    mode.  See powersave.txt for details.
+
+    Note 2: If you get click noises on output, try the module option
+	    position_fix=1 or 2.  position_fix=1 will use the SD_LPIB
+	    register value without FIFO size correction as the current
+	    DMA pointer.  position_fix=2 will make the driver to use
+	    the position buffer instead of reading SD_LPIB register.
+	    (Usually SD_LPIB register is more accurate than the
+	    position buffer.)
+
+    NB: If you get many "azx_get_response timeout" messages at
+    loading, it's likely a problem of interrupts (e.g. ACPI irq
+    routing).  Try to boot with options like "pci=noacpi".  Also, you
+    can try "single_cmd=1" module option.  This will switch the
+    communication method between HDA controller and codecs to the
+    single immediate commands instead of CORB/RIRB.  Basically, the
+    single command mode is provided only for BIOS, and you won't get
+    unsolicited events, too.  But, at least, this works independently
+    from the irq.  Remember this is a last resort, and should be
+    avoided as much as possible...
+    
+    MORE NOTES ON "azx_get_response timeout" PROBLEMS:
+    On some hardwares, you may need to add a proper probe_mask option
+    to avoid the "azx_get_response timeout" problem above, instead.
+    This occurs when the access to non-existing or non-working codec slot
+    (likely a modem one) causes a stall of the communication via HD-audio
+    bus.  You can see which codec slots are probed by enabling
+    CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE, or simply from the file name of the codec
+    proc files.  Then limit the slots to probe by probe_mask option.
+    For example, probe_mask=1 means to probe only the first slot, and
+    probe_mask=4 means only the third slot.
+
+    The power-management is supported.

+  Module snd-hdsp
+  ---------------
+
+    Module for RME Hammerfall DSP audio interface(s)
+
+    This module supports multiple cards.
+
+    Note: The firmware data can be automatically loaded via hotplug
+          when CONFIG_FW_LOADER is set.  Otherwise, you need to load
+          the firmware via hdsploader utility included in alsa-tools
+          package.
+          The firmware data is found in alsa-firmware package.
+
+    Note: snd-page-alloc module does the job which snd-hammerfall-mem
+          module did formerly.  It will allocate the buffers in advance
+          when any HDSP cards are found.  To make the buffer
+          allocation sure, load snd-page-alloc module in the early
+          stage of boot sequence.  See "Early Buffer Allocation"
+	  section.

+
+    playback_bufsize - max playback frame size in kB (4-128kB)

+    force_ac97       - 0 or 1 (disabled by default)
+    buffer_top       - specify buffer top address
+    use_cache        - 0 or 1 (disabled by default)
+    vaio_hack        - alias buffer_top=0x25a800
+    reset_workaround - enable AC97 RESET workaround for some laptops
+    reset_workaround2 - enable extended AC97 RESET workaround for some
+		      other laptops
+
+    This module supports one chip and autoprobe.
+
+    The power-management is supported.
+
+    Note: on some notebooks the buffer address cannot be detected
+    automatically, or causes hang-up during initialization.
+    In such a case, specify the buffer top address explicitly via
+    the buffer_top option.
+    For example,
+      Sony F250: buffer_top=0x25a800
+      Sony F270: buffer_top=0x272800
+    The driver supports only ac97 codec.  It's possible to force
+    to initialize/use ac97 although it's not detected.  In such a
+    case, use force_ac97=1 option - but *NO* guarantee whether it
+    works!
+
+    Note: The NM256 chip can be linked internally with non-AC97
+    codecs.  This driver supports only the AC97 codec, and won't work
+    with machines with other (most likely CS423x or OPL3SAx) chips,
+    even though the device is detected in lspci.  In such a case, try
+    other drivers, e.g. snd-cs4232 or snd-opl3sa2.  Some has ISA-PnP
+    but some doesn't have ISA PnP.  You'll need to specify isapnp=0
+    and proper hardware parameters in the case without ISA PnP.
+
+    Note: some laptops need a workaround for AC97 RESET.  For the
+    known hardware like Dell Latitude LS and Sony PCG-F305, this
+    workaround is enabled automatically.  For other laptops with a
+    hard freeze, you can try reset_workaround=1 option.
+
+    Note: Dell Latitude CSx laptops have another problem regarding
+    AC97 RESET.  On these laptops, reset_workaround2 option is
+    turned on as default.  This option is worth to try if the
+    previous reset_workaround option doesn't help.
+
+    Note: This driver is really crappy.  It's a porting from the
+    OSS driver, which is a result of black-magic reverse engineering.
+    The detection of codec will fail if the driver is loaded *after*
+    X-server as described above.  You might be able to force to load
+    the module, but it may result in hang-up.   Hence, make sure that
+    you load this module *before* X if you encounter this kind of

+
+    with isapnp=0, the following options are available:
+
+    cs4232_pcm_port - Port # for CS4232 PCM interface.
+    cs4232_pcm_irq  - IRQ # for CS4232 PCM interface (5,7,9,11,12,15).
+    cs4232_mpu_port - Port # for CS4232 MPU-401 interface.

+    dma2            - DMA2 # for CS4232 PCM interface.
+
+    The below are options for wavefront_synth features:
+    wf_raw	    - Assume that we need to boot the OS (default:no)
+	If yes, then during driver loading, the state of the board is
+	ignored, and we reset the board and load the firmware anyway.
+    fx_raw	    - Assume that the FX process needs help (default:yes)
+	If false, we'll leave the FX processor in whatever state it is
+	when the driver is loaded.  The default is to download the
+	microprogram and associated coefficients to set it up for
+	"default" operation, whatever that means.
+    debug_default   - Debug parameters for card initialization
+    wait_usecs	    - How long to wait without sleeping, usecs
+		      (default:150)
+	This magic number seems to give pretty optimal throughput
+	based on my limited experimentation. 
+	If you want to play around with it and find a better value, be
+	my guest. Remember, the idea is to get a number that causes us
+	to just busy wait for as many WaveFront commands as possible,
+	without coming up with a number so large that we hog the whole
+	CPU. 
+	Specifically, with this number, out of about 134,000 status
+	waits, only about 250 result in a sleep. 
+    sleep_interval  - How long to sleep when waiting for reply
+		      (default: 100)
+    sleep_tries	    - How many times to try sleeping during a wait
+		      (default: 50)
+    ospath	    - Pathname to processed ICS2115 OS firmware
+		      (default:wavefront.os)
+	The path name of the ISC2115 OS firmware.  In the recent
+	version, it's handled via firmware loader framework, so it
+	must be installed in the proper path, typically,
+	/lib/firmware.
+    reset_time	    - How long to wait for a reset to take effect
+		      (default:2)
+    ramcheck_time   - How many seconds to wait for the RAM test
+		      (default:20)
+    osrun_time	    - How many seconds to wait for the ICS2115 OS
+		      (default:10)
+
+    This module supports multiple cards and ISA PnP.
+
+    Note: the firmware file "wavefront.os" was located in the earlier
+          version in /etc.  Now it's loaded via firmware loader, and
+	  must be in the proper firmware path, such as /lib/firmware.
+	  Copy (or symlink) the file appropriately if you get an error
+	  regarding firmware downloading after upgrading the kernel.

+
+  Module snd-via82xx
+  ------------------
+
+    Module for AC'97 motherboards based on VIA 82C686A/686B, 8233,
+    8233A, 8233C, 8235, 8237 (south) bridge.
+
+    mpu_port	- 0x300,0x310,0x320,0x330, otherwise obtain BIOS setup
+		  [VIA686A/686B only]
+    joystick	- Enable joystick (default off) [VIA686A/686B only]
+    ac97_clock	- AC'97 codec clock base (default 48000Hz)
+    dxs_support	- support DXS channels,
+		  0 = auto (default), 1 = enable, 2 = disable,
+		  3 = 48k only, 4 = no VRA, 5 = enable any sample
+		  rate and different sample rates on different
+		  channels

+    ac97_quirk  - AC'97 workaround for strange hardware
+		  See "AC97 Quirk Option" section below.
+
+    This module supports one chip and autoprobe.
+
+    Note: on some SMP motherboards like MSI 694D the interrupts might
+          not be generated properly.  In such a case, please try to
+          set the SMP (or MPS) version on BIOS to 1.1 instead of
+          default value 1.4.  Then the interrupt number will be
+          assigned under 15. You might also upgrade your BIOS.
+    
+    Note: VIA8233/5/7 (not VIA8233A) can support DXS (direct sound)
+	  channels as the first PCM.  On these channels, up to 4
+	  streams can be played at the same time, and the controller
+	  can perform sample rate conversion with separate rates for
+	  each channel.
+	  As default (dxs_support = 0), 48k fixed rate is chosen
+	  except for the known devices since the output is often
+	  noisy except for 48k on some mother boards due to the
+	  bug of BIOS.
+	  Please try once dxs_support=5 and if it works on other
+	  sample rates (e.g. 44.1kHz of mp3 playback), please let us
+	  know the PCI subsystem vendor/device id's (output of
+	  "lspci -nv").
+	  If dxs_support=5 does not work, try dxs_support=4; if it
+	  doesn't work too, try dxs_support=1.  (dxs_support=1 is
+	  usually for old motherboards.  The correct implemented
+	  board should work with 4 or 5.)  If it still doesn't
+	  work and the default setting is ok, dxs_support=3 is the
+	  right choice.  If the default setting doesn't work at all,
+	  try dxs_support=2 to disable the DXS channels.
+	  In any cases, please let us know the result and the
+	  subsystem vendor/device ids.  See "Links and Addresses"

+    Note: for the MPU401 on VIA823x, use snd-mpu401 driver
+	  additionally.  The mpu_port option is for VIA686 chips only.
+
+    The power-management is supported.
+
+  Module snd-via82xx-modem
+  ------------------------
+
+    Module for VIA82xx AC97 modem
+
+    ac97_clock	- AC'97 codec clock base (default 48000Hz)
+
+    This module supports one card and autoprobe.
+
+    Note: The default index value of this module is -2, i.e. the first
+          slot is excluded.
+
+    The power-management is supported.
+
+  Module snd-virmidi
+  ------------------
+
+    Module for virtual rawmidi devices.
+    This module creates virtual rawmidi devices which communicate
+    to the corresponding ALSA sequencer ports.
+
+    midi_devs	- MIDI devices # (1-4, default=4)
+    
+    This module supports multiple cards.
+
+  Module snd-virtuoso
+  -------------------
+
+    Module for sound cards based on the Asus AV100/AV200 chips,
+    i.e., Xonar D1, DX, D2, D2X and HDAV1.3 (Deluxe).
+
+    This module supports autoprobe and multiple cards.
+
+  Module snd-vx222
+  ----------------
+
+    Module for Digigram VX-Pocket VX222, V222 v2 and Mic cards.
+
+    mic		- Enable Microphone on V222 Mic (NYI)
+    ibl		- Capture IBL size. (default = 0, minimum size)
+
+    This module supports multiple cards.
+
+    When the driver is compiled as a module and the hotplug firmware
+    is supported, the firmware data is loaded via hotplug automatically.
+    Install the necessary firmware files in alsa-firmware package.
+    When no hotplug fw loader is available, you need to load the
+    firmware via vxloader utility in alsa-tools package.  To invoke
+    vxloader automatically, add the following to /etc/modprobe.conf
+
+	install snd-vx222 /sbin/modprobe --first-time -i snd-vx222 && /usr/bin/vxloader
+
+    (for 2.2/2.4 kernels, add "post-install /usr/bin/vxloader" to
+     /etc/modules.conf, instead.)
+    IBL size defines the interrupts period for PCM.  The smaller size
+    gives smaller latency but leads to more CPU consumption, too.
+    The size is usually aligned to 126.  As default (=0), the smallest
+    size is chosen.  The possible IBL values can be found in
+    /proc/asound/cardX/vx-status proc file.

+    PCMCIA is supported on kernel.
+
+    With the older 2.6.x kernel, to activate the driver via the card
+    manager, you'll need to set up /etc/pcmcia/vxpocket.conf.  See the
+    sound/pcmcia/vx/vxpocket.c.  2.6.13 or later kernel requires no
+    longer require a config file.
+
+    When the driver is compiled as a module and the hotplug firmware
+    is supported, the firmware data is loaded via hotplug automatically.
+    Install the necessary firmware files in alsa-firmware package.
+    When no hotplug fw loader is available, you need to load the
+    firmware via vxloader utility in alsa-tools package.
+
+    About capture IBL, see the description of snd-vx222 module.
+

+
+AC97 Quirk Option
+=================
+
+The ac97_quirk option is used to enable/override the workaround for
+specific devices on drivers for on-board AC'97 controllers like
+snd-intel8x0.  Some hardware have swapped output pins between Master
+and Headphone, or Surround (thanks to confusion of AC'97
+specifications from version to version :-)
+
+The driver provides the auto-detection of known problematic devices,
+but some might be unknown or wrongly detected.  In such a case, pass
+the proper value with this option.
+
+The following strings are accepted:
+    - default	Don't override the default setting
+    - none	Disable the quirk
+    - hp_only	Bind Master and Headphone controls as a single control
+    - swap_hp	Swap headphone and master controls
+    - swap_surround  Swap master and surround controls
+    - ad_sharing  For AD1985, turn on OMS bit and use headphone
+    - alc_jack	For ALC65x, turn on the jack sense mode
+    - inv_eapd	Inverted EAPD implementation
+    - mute_led	Bind EAPD bit for turning on/off mute LED
+
+For backward compatibility, the corresponding integer value -1, 0,
+... are  accepted, too.
+
+For example, if "Master" volume control has no effect on your device
+but only "Headphone" does, pass ac97_quirk=hp_only module option.
+
+
+Configuring Non-ISAPNP Cards
+============================
+
+When the kernel is configured with ISA-PnP support, the modules
+supporting the isapnp cards will have module options "isapnp".
+If this option is set, *only* the ISA-PnP devices will be probed.
+For probing the non ISA-PnP cards, you have to pass "isapnp=0" option
+together with the proper i/o and irq configuration.
+
+When the kernel is configured without ISA-PnP support, isapnp option
+will be not built in.
+
+
+Module Autoloading Support
+==========================
+
+The ALSA drivers can be loaded automatically on demand by defining
+module aliases.  The string 'snd-card-%1' is requested for ALSA native
+devices where %i is sound card number from zero to seven.
+
+To auto-load an ALSA driver for OSS services, define the string
+'sound-slot-%i' where %i means the slot number for OSS, which
+corresponds to the card index of ALSA.  Usually, define this
+as the same card module.
+
+An example configuration for a single emu10k1 card is like below:
+----- /etc/modprobe.conf
+alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
+alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1
+----- /etc/modprobe.conf
+
+The available number of auto-loaded sound cards depends on the module
+option "cards_limit" of snd module.  As default it's set to 1.
+To enable the auto-loading of multiple cards, specify the number of
+sound cards in that option.
+
+When multiple cards are available, it'd better to specify the index
+number for each card via module option, too, so that the order of
+cards is kept consistent.
+
+An example configuration for two sound cards is like below:
+
+----- /etc/modprobe.conf
+# ALSA portion
+options snd cards_limit=2
+alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave
+alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
+options snd-interwave index=0
+options snd-ens1371 index=1
+# OSS/Free portion
+alias sound-slot-0 snd-interwave
+alias sound-slot-1 snd-ens1371
+----- /etc/modprobe.conf
+
+In this example, the interwave card is always loaded as the first card
+(index 0) and ens1371 as the second (index 1).
+
+Alternative (and new) way to fixate the slot assignment is to use
+"slots" option of snd module.  In the case above, specify like the
+following: 
+
+options snd slots=snd-interwave,snd-ens1371
+
+Then, the first slot (#0) is reserved for snd-interwave driver, and
+the second (#1) for snd-ens1371.  You can omit index option in each
+driver if slots option is used (although you can still have them at
+the same time as long as they don't conflict).
+
+The slots option is especially useful for avoiding the possible
+hot-plugging and the resultant slot conflict.  For example, in the
+case above again, the first two slots are already reserved.  If any
+other driver (e.g. snd-usb-audio) is loaded before snd-interwave or
+snd-ens1371, it will be assigned to the third or later slot.
+
+When a module name is given with '!', the slot will be given for any
+modules but that name.  For example, "slots=!snd-pcsp" will reserve
+the first slot for any modules but snd-pcsp. 
+
+
+ALSA PCM devices to OSS devices mapping
+=======================================
+
+/dev/snd/pcmC0D0[c|p]  -> /dev/audio0 (/dev/audio) -> minor 4
+/dev/snd/pcmC0D0[c|p]  -> /dev/dsp0 (/dev/dsp)     -> minor 3
+/dev/snd/pcmC0D1[c|p]  -> /dev/adsp0 (/dev/adsp)   -> minor 12
+/dev/snd/pcmC1D0[c|p]  -> /dev/audio1              -> minor 4+16 = 20
+/dev/snd/pcmC1D0[c|p]  -> /dev/dsp1                -> minor 3+16 = 19
+/dev/snd/pcmC1D1[c|p]  -> /dev/adsp1               -> minor 12+16 = 28
+/dev/snd/pcmC2D0[c|p]  -> /dev/audio2              -> minor 4+32 = 36
+/dev/snd/pcmC2D0[c|p]  -> /dev/dsp2                -> minor 3+32 = 39
+/dev/snd/pcmC2D1[c|p]  -> /dev/adsp2               -> minor 12+32 = 44
+
+The first number from /dev/snd/pcmC{X}D{Y}[c|p] expression means
+sound card number and second means device number.  The ALSA devices
+have either 'c' or 'p' suffix indicating the direction, capture and
+playback, respectively.
+
+Please note that the device mapping above may be varied via the module
+options of snd-pcm-oss module.
+
+
+Proc interfaces (/proc/asound)
+==============================
+
+/proc/asound/card#/pcm#[cp]/oss
+-------------------------------
+  String "erase" - erase all additional informations about OSS applications
+  String "<app_name> <fragments> <fragment_size> [<options>]"
+
+   <app_name> - name of application with (higher priority) or without path
+   <fragments> - number of fragments or zero if auto
+   <fragment_size> - size of fragment in bytes or zero if auto
+   <options> - optional parameters
+	  - disable   the application tries to open a pcm device for
+		      this channel but does not want to use it.
+		      (Cause a bug or mmap needs)
+		      It's good for Quake etc...
+	  - direct    don't use plugins
+	  - block     force block mode (rvplayer)
+	  - non-block force non-block mode
+	  - whole-frag  write only whole fragments (optimization affecting
+			playback only)
+	  - no-silence  do not fill silence ahead to avoid clicks
+	  - buggy-ptr	Returns the whitespace blocks in GETOPTR ioctl
+			instead of filled blocks
+
+  Example: echo "x11amp 128 16384" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
+           echo "squake 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
+	   echo "rvplayer 0 0 block" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
+
+
+Early Buffer Allocation
+=======================
+
+Some drivers (e.g. hdsp) require the large contiguous buffers, and
+sometimes it's too late to find such spaces when the driver module is
+actually loaded due to memory fragmentation.  You can pre-allocate the
+PCM buffers by loading snd-page-alloc module and write commands to its
+proc file in prior, for example, in the early boot stage like
+/etc/init.d/*.local scripts.
+
+Reading the proc file /proc/drivers/snd-page-alloc shows the current
+usage of page allocation.  In writing, you can send the following
+commands to the snd-page-alloc driver:
+
+  - add VENDOR DEVICE MASK SIZE BUFFERS
+
+    VENDOR and DEVICE are PCI vendor and device IDs.  They take
+    integer numbers (0x prefix is needed for the hex).
+    MASK is the PCI DMA mask.  Pass 0 if not restricted.
+    SIZE is the size of each buffer to allocate.  You can pass
+    k and m suffix for KB and MB.  The max number is 16MB.
+    BUFFERS is the number of buffers to allocate.  It must be greater
+    than 0.  The max number is 4.
+
+  - erase
+
+    This will erase the all pre-allocated buffers which are not in
+    use.

+
+		Sound Blaster Audigy mixer / default DSP code
+		===========================================
+
+This is based on SB-Live-mixer.txt.
+
+The EMU10K2 chips have a DSP part which can be programmed to support 
+various ways of sample processing, which is described here.
+(This article does not deal with the overall functionality of the 
+EMU10K2 chips. See the manuals section for further details.)
+
+The ALSA driver programs this portion of chip by default code
+(can be altered later) which offers the following functionality:
+
+
+1) Digital mixer controls
+-------------------------
+
+These controls are built using the DSP instructions. They offer extended
+functionality. Only the default build-in code in the ALSA driver is described
+here. Note that the controls work as attenuators: the maximum value is the 
+neutral position leaving the signal unchanged. Note that if the  same destination 
+is mentioned in multiple controls, the signal is accumulated and can be wrapped 
+(set to maximal or minimal value without checking of overflow).
+
+
+Explanation of used abbreviations:
+
+DAC    - digital to analog converter
+ADC    - analog to digital converter
+I2S    - one-way three wire serial bus for digital sound by Philips Semiconductors
+         (this standard is used for connecting standalone DAC and ADC converters)
+LFE    - low frequency effects (subwoofer signal)
+AC97   - a chip containing an analog mixer, DAC and ADC converters
+IEC958 - S/PDIF
+FX-bus - the EMU10K2 chip has an effect bus containing 64 accumulators.
+         Each of the synthesizer voices can feed its output to these accumulators
+         and the DSP microcontroller can operate with the resulting sum.

+	Guide to using M-Audio Audiophile USB with ALSA and Jack	v1.5
+	========================================================
+
+	    Thibault Le Meur <Thibault.LeMeur@supelec.fr>
+
+This document is a guide to using the M-Audio Audiophile USB (tm) device with 
+ALSA and JACK.
+
+History
+=======
+* v1.4 - Thibault Le Meur (2007-07-11)
+ - Added Low Endianness nature of 16bits-modes
+   found by Hakan Lennestal <Hakan.Lennestal@brfsodrahamn.se>
+ - Modifying document structure
+* v1.5 - Thibault Le Meur (2007-07-12)
+ - Added AC3/DTS passthru info
+
+
+1 - Audiophile USB Specs and correct usage
+==========================================
+
+This part is a reminder of important facts about the functions and limitations 
+of the device.
+
+The device has 4 audio interfaces, and 2 MIDI ports:
+ * Analog Stereo Input (Ai)
+   - This port supports 2 pairs of line-level audio inputs (1/4" TS and RCA) 
+   - When the 1/4" TS (jack) connectors are connected, the RCA connectors
+     are disabled
+ * Analog Stereo Output (Ao)
+ * Digital Stereo Input (Di)
+ * Digital Stereo Output (Do)
+ * Midi In (Mi)
+ * Midi Out (Mo)
+
+The internal DAC/ADC has the following characteristics:
+* sample depth of 16 or 24 bits
+* sample rate from 8kHz to 96kHz
+* Two interfaces can't use different sample depths at the same time.
+Moreover, the Audiophile USB documentation gives the following Warning:
+"Please exit any audio application running before switching between bit depths"
+
+Due to the USB 1.1 bandwidth limitation, a limited number of interfaces can be 
+activated at the same time depending on the audio mode selected:
+ * 16-bit/48kHz ==> 4 channels in + 4 channels out
+   - Ai+Ao+Di+Do
+ * 24-bit/48kHz ==> 4 channels in + 2 channels out, 
+                    or 2 channels in + 4 channels out
+   - Ai+Ao+Do or Ai+Di+Ao or Ai+Di+Do or Di+Ao+Do
+ * 24-bit/96kHz ==> 2 channels in _or_ 2 channels out (half duplex only)
+   - Ai or Ao or Di or Do
+
+Important facts about the Digital interface:
+--------------------------------------------
+ * The Do port additionally supports surround-encoded AC-3 and DTS passthrough, 
+though I haven't tested it under Linux
+   - Note that in this setup only the Do interface can be enabled
+ * Apart from recording an audio digital stream, enabling the Di port is a way 
+to synchronize the device to an external sample clock
+   - As a consequence, the Di port must be enable only if an active Digital 
+source is connected
+   - Enabling Di when no digital source is connected can result in a 
+synchronization error (for instance sound played at an odd sample rate)
+
+
+2 - Audiophile USB MIDI support in ALSA
+=======================================
+
+The Audiophile USB MIDI ports will be automatically supported once the
+following modules have been loaded:
+ * snd-usb-audio
+ * snd-seq-midi
+
+No additional setting is required.
+
+
+3 - Audiophile USB Audio support in ALSA
+========================================
+
+Audio functions of the Audiophile USB device are handled by the snd-usb-audio 
+module. This module can work in a default mode (without any device-specific 
+parameter), or in an "advanced" mode with the device-specific parameter called 
+"device_setup".
+
+3.1 - Default Alsa driver mode
+------------------------------
+
+The default behavior of the snd-usb-audio driver is to list the device 
+capabilities at startup and activate the required mode when required 
+by the applications: for instance if the user is recording in a 
+24bit-depth-mode and immediately after wants to switch to a 16bit-depth mode,
+the snd-usb-audio module will reconfigure the device on the fly.
+
+This approach has the advantage to let the driver automatically switch from sample 
+rates/depths automatically according to the user's needs. However, those who 
+are using the device under windows know that this is not how the device is meant to
+work: under windows applications must be closed before using the m-audio control
+panel to switch the device working mode. Thus as we'll see in next section, this 
+Default Alsa driver mode can lead to device misconfigurations.
+
+Let's get back to the Default Alsa driver mode for now.  In this case the 
+Audiophile interfaces are mapped to alsa pcm devices in the following 
+way (I suppose the device's index is 1):
+ * hw:1,0 is Ao in playback and Di in capture
+ * hw:1,1 is Do in playback and Ai in capture
+ * hw:1,2 is Do in AC3/DTS passthrough mode
+
+In this mode, the device uses Big Endian byte-encoding so that 
+supported audio format are S16_BE for 16-bit depth modes and S24_3BE for 
+24-bits depth mode.
+
+One exception is the hw:1,2 port which was reported to be Little Endian 
+compliant (supposedly supporting S16_LE) but processes in fact only S16_BE streams.
+This has been fixed in kernel 2.6.23 and above and now the hw:1,2 interface 
+is reported to be big endian in this default driver mode.
+
+Examples:
+ * playing a S24_3BE encoded raw file to the Ao port
+   % aplay -D hw:1,0 -c2 -t raw -r48000 -fS24_3BE test.raw
+ * recording a  S24_3BE encoded raw file from the Ai port
+   % arecord -D hw:1,1 -c2  -t raw -r48000 -fS24_3BE test.raw
+ * playing a S16_BE encoded raw file to the Do port
+   % aplay -D hw:1,1 -c2 -t raw -r48000 -fS16_BE test.raw
+ * playing an ac3 sample file to the Do port
+   % aplay -D hw:1,2 --channels=6 ac3_S16_BE_encoded_file.raw
+
+If you're happy with the default Alsa driver mode and don't experience any 
+issue with this mode, then you can skip the following chapter.
+
+3.2 - Advanced module setup
+---------------------------
+
+Due to the hardware constraints described above, the device initialization made 
+by the Alsa driver in default mode may result in a corrupted state of the 
+device. For instance, a particularly annoying issue is that the sound captured 
+from the Ai interface sounds distorted (as if boosted with an excessive high
+volume gain).
+
+For people having this problem, the snd-usb-audio module has a new module 
+parameter called "device_setup" (this parameter was introduced in kernel
+release 2.6.17)
+
+3.2.1 - Initializing the working mode of the Audiophile USB
+
+As far as the Audiophile USB device is concerned, this value let the user 
+specify:
+ * the sample depth
+ * the sample rate
+ * whether the Di port is used or not 
+
+When initialized with "device_setup=0x00", the snd-usb-audio module has
+the same behaviour as when the parameter is omitted (see paragraph "Default 
+Alsa driver mode" above)
+
+Others modes are described in the following subsections.
+
+3.2.1.1 - 16-bit modes
+
+The two supported modes are:
+
+ * device_setup=0x01
+   - 16bits 48kHz mode with Di disabled
+   - Ai,Ao,Do can be used at the same time
+   - hw:1,0 is not available in capture mode
+   - hw:1,2 is not available
+
+ * device_setup=0x11
+   - 16bits 48kHz mode with Di enabled
+   - Ai,Ao,Di,Do can be used at the same time
+   - hw:1,0 is available in capture mode
+   - hw:1,2 is not available
+
+In this modes the device operates only at 16bits-modes. Before kernel 2.6.23,
+the devices where reported to be Big-Endian when in fact they were Little-Endian
+so that playing a file was a matter of using:
+   % aplay -D hw:1,1 -c2 -t raw -r48000 -fS16_BE test_S16_LE.raw
+where "test_S16_LE.raw" was in fact a little-endian sample file.
+
+Thanks to Hakan Lennestal (who discovered the Little-Endiannes of the device in
+these modes) a fix has been committed (expected in kernel 2.6.23) and
+Alsa now reports Little-Endian interfaces. Thus playing a file now is as simple as
+using:
+   % aplay -D hw:1,1 -c2 -t raw -r48000 -fS16_LE test_S16_LE.raw
+
+3.2.1.2 - 24-bit modes
+
+The three supported modes are:
+
+ * device_setup=0x09
+   - 24bits 48kHz mode with Di disabled
+   - Ai,Ao,Do can be used at the same time
+   - hw:1,0 is not available in capture mode
+   - hw:1,2 is not available
+
+ * device_setup=0x19
+   - 24bits 48kHz mode with Di enabled
+   - 3 ports from {Ai,Ao,Di,Do} can be used at the same time
+   - hw:1,0 is available in capture mode and an active digital source must be 
+     connected to Di
+   - hw:1,2 is not available
+
+ * device_setup=0x0D or 0x10
+   - 24bits 96kHz mode
+   - Di is enabled by default for this mode but does not need to be connected 
+     to an active source
+   - Only 1 port from {Ai,Ao,Di,Do} can be used at the same time
+   - hw:1,0 is available in captured mode
+   - hw:1,2 is not available
+
+In these modes the device is only Big-Endian compliant (see "Default Alsa driver 
+mode" above for an aplay command example)
+
+3.2.1.3 - AC3 w/ DTS passthru mode
+
+Thanks to Hakan Lennestal, I now have a report saying that this mode works.
+
+ * device_setup=0x03
+   - 16bits 48kHz mode with only the Do port enabled 
+   - AC3 with DTS passthru
+   - Caution with this setup the Do port is mapped to the pcm device hw:1,0
+
+The command line used to playback the AC3/DTS encoded .wav-files in this mode:
+   % aplay -D hw:1,0 --channels=6 ac3_S16_LE_encoded_file.raw
+
+3.2.2 - How to use the device_setup parameter
+----------------------------------------------
+
+The parameter can be given:
+
+ * By manually probing the device (as root):
+   # modprobe -r snd-usb-audio
+   # modprobe snd-usb-audio index=1 device_setup=0x09
+
+ * Or while configuring the modules options in your modules configuration file
+   - For Fedora distributions, edit the /etc/modprobe.conf file:
+       alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
+       options snd-usb-audio index=1 device_setup=0x09
+
+CAUTION when initializing the device
+-------------------------------------
+
+ * Correct initialization on the device requires that device_setup is given to
+   the module BEFORE the device is turned on. So, if you use the "manual probing"
+   method described above, take care to power-on the device AFTER this initialization.
+
+ * Failing to respect this will lead to a misconfiguration of the device. In this case
+   turn off the device, unprobe the snd-usb-audio module, then probe it again with
+   correct device_setup parameter and then (and only then) turn on the device again.
+
+ * If you've correctly initialized the device in a valid mode and then want to switch
+   to  another mode (possibly with another sample-depth), please use also the following 
+   procedure:
+   - first turn off the device
+   - de-register the snd-usb-audio module (modprobe -r)
+   - change the device_setup parameter by changing the device_setup
+     option in /etc/modprobe.conf 
+   - turn on the device
+ * A workaround for this last issue has been applied to kernel 2.6.23, but it may not
+   be enough to ensure the 'stability' of the device initialization.
+
+3.2.3 - Technical details for hackers
+-------------------------------------
+This section is for hackers, wanting to understand details about the device
+internals and how Alsa supports it.
+
+3.2.3.1 - Audiophile USB's device_setup structure
+
+If you want to understand the device_setup magic numbers for the Audiophile 
+USB, you need some very basic understanding of binary computation. However, 
+this is not required to use the parameter and you may skip this section.
+
+The device_setup is one byte long and its structure is the following:
+
+       +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
+       | b7| b6| b5| b4| b3| b2| b1| b0|
+       +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
+       | 0 | 0 | 0 | Di|24B|96K|DTS|SET|
+       +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
+
+Where:
+ * b0 is the "SET" bit
+   - it MUST be set if device_setup is initialized 
+ * b1 is the "DTS" bit
+   - it is set only for Digital output with DTS/AC3
+   - this setup is not tested
+ * b2 is the Rate selection flag
+   - When set to "1" the rate range is 48.1-96kHz
+   - Otherwise the sample rate range is 8-48kHz
+ * b3 is the bit depth selection flag
+   - When set to "1" samples are 24bits long
+   - Otherwise they are 16bits long
+   - Note that b2 implies b3 as the 96kHz mode is only supported for 24 bits 
+     samples
+ * b4 is the Digital input flag
+   - When set to "1" the device assumes that an active digital source is 
+     connected 
+   - You shouldn't enable Di if no source is seen on the port (this leads to 
+     synchronization issues)
+   - b4 is implied by b2 (since only one port is enabled at a time no synch 
+     error can occur) 
+ * b5 to b7 are reserved for future uses, and must be set to "0"
+   - might become Ao, Do, Ai, for b7, b6, b4 respectively
+
+Caution:
+ * there is no check on the value you will give to device_setup
+   - for instance choosing 0x05 (16bits 96kHz) will fail back to 0x09 since 
+     b2 implies b3. But _there_will_be_no_warning_ in /var/log/messages
+ * Hardware constraints due to the USB bus limitation aren't checked
+   - choosing b2 will prepare all interfaces for 24bits/96kHz but you'll
+     only be able to use one at the same time
+
+3.2.3.2 -  USB implementation details for this device
+
+You may safely skip this section if you're not interested in driver 
+hacking.
+
+This section describes some internal aspects of the device and summarizes the 
+data I got by usb-snooping the windows and Linux drivers.
+
+The M-Audio Audiophile USB has 7 USB Interfaces:
+a "USB interface":
+ * USB Interface nb.0
+ * USB Interface nb.1
+   - Audio Control function
+ * USB Interface nb.2
+   - Analog Output
+ * USB Interface nb.3
+   - Digital Output
+ * USB Interface nb.4
+   - Analog Input
+ * USB Interface nb.5
+   - Digital Input
+ * USB Interface nb.6
+   - MIDI interface compliant with the MIDIMAN quirk 
+
+Each interface has 5 altsettings (AltSet 1,2,3,4,5) except:
+ * Interface 3 (Digital Out) has an extra Alset nb.6 
+ * Interface 5 (Digital In) does not have Alset nb.3 and 5 
+
+Here is a short description of the AltSettings capabilities:
+ * AltSettings 1 corresponds to
+  - 24-bit depth, 48.1-96kHz sample mode
+  - Adaptive playback (Ao and Do), Synch capture (Ai), or Asynch capture (Di)
+ * AltSettings 2 corresponds to
+  - 24-bit depth, 8-48kHz sample mode
+  - Asynch capture and playback  (Ao,Ai,Do,Di)
+ * AltSettings 3 corresponds to
+  - 24-bit depth, 8-48kHz sample mode
+  - Synch capture (Ai) and Adaptive playback (Ao,Do)
+ * AltSettings 4 corresponds to
+  - 16-bit depth, 8-48kHz sample mode
+  - Asynch capture and playback  (Ao,Ai,Do,Di)
+ * AltSettings 5 corresponds to
+  - 16-bit depth, 8-48kHz sample mode
+  - Synch capture (Ai) and Adaptive playback (Ao,Do)
+ * AltSettings 6 corresponds to
+  - 16-bit depth, 8-48kHz sample mode
+  - Synch playback (Do), audio format type III IEC1937_AC-3
+
+In order to ensure a correct initialization of the device, the driver 
+_must_know_ how the device will be used:
+ * if DTS is chosen, only Interface 2 with AltSet nb.6 must be
+   registered
+ * if 96KHz only AltSets nb.1 of each interface must be selected
+ * if samples are using 24bits/48KHz then AltSet 2 must me used if
+   Digital input is connected, and only AltSet nb.3 if Digital input
+   is not connected
+ * if samples are using 16bits/48KHz then AltSet 4 must me used if
+   Digital input is connected, and only AltSet nb.5 if Digital input
+   is not connected
+
+When device_setup is given as a parameter to the snd-usb-audio module, the 
+parse_audio_endpoints function uses a quirk called 
+"audiophile_skip_setting_quirk" in order to prevent AltSettings not 
+corresponding to device_setup from being registered in the driver.
+
+4 - Audiophile USB and Jack support
+===================================
+
+This section deals with support of the Audiophile USB device in Jack.
+
+There are 2 main potential issues when using Jackd with the device:
+* support for Big-Endian devices in 24-bit modes
+* support for 4-in / 4-out channels
+
+4.1 - Direct support in Jackd
+-----------------------------
+
+Jack supports big endian devices only in recent versions (thanks to
+Andreas Steinmetz for his first big-endian patch). I can't remember 
+exactly when this support was released into jackd, let's just say that
+with jackd version 0.103.0 it's almost ok (just a small bug is affecting 
+16bits Big-Endian devices, but since you've read carefully the above
+paragraphs, you're now using kernel >= 2.6.23 and your 16bits devices 
+are now Little Endians ;-) ).
+
+You can run jackd with the following command for playback with Ao and
+record with Ai:
+  % jackd -R -dalsa -Phw:1,0 -r48000 -p128 -n2 -D -Chw:1,1
+
+4.2 - Using Alsa plughw
+-----------------------
+If you don't have a recent Jackd installed, you can downgrade to using
+the Alsa "plug" converter.
+
+For instance here is one way to run Jack with 2 playback channels on Ao and 2 
+capture channels from Ai:
+  % jackd -R -dalsa -dplughw:1 -r48000 -p256 -n2 -D -Cplughw:1,1
+
+However you may see the following warning message:
+"You appear to be using the ALSA software "plug" layer, probably a result of 
+using the "default" ALSA device. This is less efficient than it could be. 
+Consider using a hardware device instead rather than using the plug layer."
+
+4.3 - Getting 2 input and/or output interfaces in Jack
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+As you can see, starting the Jack server this way will only enable 1 stereo
+input (Di or Ai) and 1 stereo output (Ao or Do).
+
+This is due to the following restrictions:
+* Jack can only open one capture device and one playback device at a time
+* The Audiophile USB is seen as 2 (or three) Alsa devices: hw:1,0, hw:1,1
+  (and optionally hw:1,2)
+
+If you want to get Ai+Di and/or Ao+Do support with Jack, you would need to
+combine the Alsa devices into one logical "complex" device.
+
+If you want to give it a try, I recommend reading the information from
+this page: http://www.sound-man.co.uk/linuxaudio/ice1712multi.html
+It is related to another device (ice1712) but can be adapted to suit
+the Audiophile USB.
+
+Enabling multiple Audiophile USB interfaces for Jackd will certainly require:
+* Making sure your Jackd version has the MMAP_COMPLEX patch (see the ice1712 page)
+* (maybe) patching the alsa-lib/src/pcm/pcm_multi.c file (see the ice1712 page)
+* define a multi device (combination of hw:1,0 and hw:1,1) in your .asoundrc
+  file 
+* start jackd with this device
+
+I had no success in testing this for now, if you have any success with this kind 
+of setup, please drop me an email.

+The first does video, it is backward compatible to the bt848.  The second
+does audio.  snd-bt87x is a driver for the second function.  It's a sound
+driver which can be used for recording sound (and _only_ recording, no
+playback).  As most TV cards come with a short cable which can be plugged
+into your sound card's line-in you probably don't need this driver if all
+you want to do is just watching TV...
+
+Some cards do not bother to connect anything to the audio input pins of
+the chip, and some other cards use the audio function to transport MPEG
+video data, so it's quite possible that audio recording may not work
+with your card.
+
+
+Driver Status
+=============
+
+The driver is now stable.  However, it doesn't know about many TV cards,
+and it refuses to load for cards it doesn't know.
+
+If the driver complains ("Unknown TV card found, the audio driver will
+not load"), you can specify the load_all=1 option to force the driver to
+try to use the audio capture function of your card.  If the frequency of
+recorded data is not right, try to specify the digital_rate option with
+other values than the default 32000 (often it's 44100 or 64000).
+
+If you have an unknown card, please mail the ID and board name to
+<alsa-devel@alsa-project.org>, regardless of whether audio capture works
+or not, so that future versions of this driver know about your card.
+
+
+Audio modes
+===========
+
+The chip knows two different modes (digital/analog).  snd-bt87x
+registers two PCM devices, one for each mode.  They cannot be used at
+the same time.
+
+
+Digital audio mode
+==================
+
+The first device (hw:X,0) gives you 16 bit stereo sound.  The sample
+rate depends on the external source which feeds the Bt87x with digital
+sound via I2S interface.
+
+
+Analog audio mode (A/D)
+=======================
+
+The second device (hw:X,1) gives you 8 or 16 bit mono sound.  Supported
+sample rates are between 119466 and 448000 Hz (yes, these numbers are
+that high).  If you've set the CONFIG_SND_BT87X_OVERCLOCK option, the
+maximum sample rate is 1792000 Hz, but audio data becomes unusable
+beyond 896000 Hz on my card.
+
+The chip has three analog inputs.  Consequently you'll get a mixer
+device to control these.
+
+
+Have fun,
+

+         Brief Notes on C-Media 8338/8738/8768/8770 Driver
+         =================================================
+

+
+
+Front/Rear Multi-channel Playback
+---------------------------------
+
+CM8x38 chip can use ADC as the second DAC so that two different stereo
+channels can be used for front/rear playbacks.  Since there are two
+DACs, both streams are handled independently unlike the 4/6ch multi-
+channel playbacks in the section below.
+
+As default, ALSA driver assigns the first PCM device (i.e. hw:0,0 for
+card#0) for front and 4/6ch playbacks, while the second PCM device
+(hw:0,1) is assigned to the second DAC for rear playback.
+
+There are slight differences between the two DACs:
+
+- The first DAC supports U8 and S16LE formats, while the second DAC
+  supports only S16LE.
+- The second DAC supports only two channel stereo.
+
+Please note that the CM8x38 DAC doesn't support continuous playback
+rate but only fixed rates: 5512, 8000, 11025, 16000, 22050, 32000,
+44100 and 48000 Hz.
+
+The rear output can be heard only when "Four Channel Mode" switch is
+disabled.  Otherwise no signal will be routed to the rear speakers.
+As default it's turned on.
+
+*** WARNING ***
+When "Four Channel Mode" switch is off, the output from rear speakers
+will be FULL VOLUME regardless of Master and PCM volumes.
+This might damage your audio equipment.  Please disconnect speakers
+before your turn off this switch.
+*** WARNING ***
+
+[ Well.. I once got the output with correct volume (i.e. same with the
+  front one) and was so excited.  It was even with "Four Channel" bit
+  on and "double DAC" mode.  Actually I could hear separate 4 channels
+  from front and rear speakers!  But.. after reboot, all was gone.
+  It's a very pity that I didn't save the register dump at that
+  time..  Maybe there is an unknown register to achieve this... ]
+
+If your card has an extra output jack for the rear output, the rear
+playback should be routed there as default.  If not, there is a
+control switch in the driver "Line-In As Rear", which you can change
+via alsamixer or somewhat else.  When this switch is on, line-in jack
+is used as rear output.
+
+There are two more controls regarding to the rear output.
+The "Exchange DAC" switch is used to exchange front and rear playback
+routes, i.e. the 2nd DAC is output from front output.
+
+
+4/6 Multi-Channel Playback
+--------------------------
+
+The recent CM8738 chips support for the 4/6 multi-channel playback
+function.  This is useful especially for AC3 decoding.
+
+When the multi-channel is supported, the driver name has a suffix
+"-MC" such like "CMI8738-MC6".  You can check this name from
+/proc/asound/cards.
+
+When the 4/6-ch output is enabled, the second DAC accepts up to 6 (or
+4) channels.  While the dual DAC supports two different rates or
+formats, the 4/6-ch playback supports only the same condition for all
+channels.  Since the multi-channel playback mode uses both DACs, you
+cannot operate with full-duplex.
+
+The 4.0 and 5.1 modes are defined as the pcm "surround40" and "surround51"
+in alsa-lib.  For example, you can play a WAV file with 6 channels like
+
+	% aplay -Dsurround51 sixchannels.wav
+
+For programming the 4/6 channel playback, you need to specify the PCM
+channels as you like and set the format S16LE.  For example, for playback
+with 4 channels,
+
+	snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access(pcm, hw, SND_PCM_ACCESS_RW_INTERLEAVED);
+	    // or mmap if you like
+	snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format(pcm, hw, SND_PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE);
+	snd_pcm_hw_params_set_channels(pcm, hw, 4);
+
+and use the interleaved 4 channel data.
+
+There are some control switchs affecting to the speaker connections:
+
+"Line-In Mode"	- an enum control to change the behavior of line-in
+	jack.  Either "Line-In", "Rear Output" or "Bass Output" can
+	be selected.  The last item is available only with model 039
+	or newer. 
+	When "Rear Output" is chosen, the surround channels 3 and 4
+	are output to line-in jack.
+"Mic-In Mode"	- an enum control to change the behavior of mic-in
+	jack.  Either "Mic-In" or "Center/LFE Output" can be
+	selected. 
+	When "Center/LFE Output" is chosen, the center and bass
+	channels (channels 5 and 6) are output to mic-in jack. 
+
+Digital I/O
+-----------
+
+The CM8x38 provides the excellent SPDIF capability with very cheap
+price (yes, that's the reason I bought the card :)
+
+The SPDIF playback and capture are done via the third PCM device
+(hw:0,2).  Usually this is assigned to the PCM device "spdif".
+The available rates are 44100 and 48000 Hz.
+For playback with aplay, you can run like below:
+
+	% aplay -Dhw:0,2 foo.wav
+
+or
+
+	% aplay -Dspdif foo.wav
+
+24bit format is also supported experimentally.
+
+The playback and capture over SPDIF use normal DAC and ADC,
+respectively, so you cannot playback both analog and digital streams
+simultaneously.
+
+To enable SPDIF output, you need to turn on "IEC958 Output Switch"
+control via mixer or alsactl ("IEC958" is the official name of
+so-called S/PDIF).  Then you'll see the red light on from the card so
+you know that's working obviously :)
+The SPDIF input is always enabled, so you can hear SPDIF input data
+from line-out with "IEC958 In Monitor" switch at any time (see
+below).
+
+You can play via SPDIF even with the first device (hw:0,0),
+but SPDIF is enabled only when the proper format (S16LE), sample rate
+(441100 or 48000) and channels (2) are used.  Otherwise it's turned
+off.  (Also don't forget to turn on "IEC958 Output Switch", too.)
+
+
+Additionally there are relevant control switches:
+
+"IEC958 Mix Analog" - Mix analog PCM playback and FM-OPL/3 streams and
+	output through SPDIF.  This switch appears only on old chip
+	models (CM8738 033 and 037).
+	Note: without this control you can output PCM to SPDIF.
+	This is "mixing" of streams, so e.g. it's not for AC3 output
+	(see the next section).
+
+"IEC958 In Select"  - Select SPDIF input, the internal CD-in (false)
+	and the external input (true).
+
+"IEC958 Loop"       - SPDIF input data is loop back into SPDIF
+	output (aka bypass)
+
+"IEC958 Copyright"  - Set the copyright bit.
+
+"IEC958 5V"         - Select 0.5V (coax) or 5V (optical) interface.
+	On some cards this doesn't work and you need to change the
+	configuration with hardware dip-switch.
+
+"IEC958 In Monitor" - SPDIF input is routed to DAC.
+
+"IEC958 In Phase Inverse" - Set SPDIF input format as inverse.
+	[FIXME: this doesn't work on all chips..]
+
+"IEC958 In Valid"   - Set input validity flag detection.
+
+Note: When "PCM Playback Switch" is on, you'll hear the digital output
+stream through analog line-out.
+
+
+The AC3 (RAW DIGITAL) OUTPUT
+----------------------------
+
+The driver supports raw digital (typically AC3) i/o over SPDIF.  This
+can be toggled via IEC958 playback control, but usually you need to
+access it via alsa-lib.  See alsa-lib documents for more details.
+
+On the raw digital mode, the "PCM Playback Switch" is automatically
+turned off so that non-audio data is heard from the analog line-out.
+Similarly the following switches are off: "IEC958 Mix Analog" and
+"IEC958 Loop".  The switches are resumed after closing the SPDIF PCM
+device automatically to the previous state.
+
+On the model 033, AC3 is implemented by the software conversion in
+the alsa-lib.  If you need to bypass the software conversion of IEC958
+subframes, pass the "soft_ac3=0" module option.  This doesn't matter
+on the newer models.
+
+
+ANALOG MIXER INTERFACE
+----------------------
+
+The mixer interface on CM8x38 is similar to SB16.
+There are Master, PCM, Synth, CD, Line, Mic and PC Speaker playback
+volumes.  Synth, CD, Line and Mic have playback and capture switches,
+too, as well as SB16.
+
+In addition to the standard SB mixer, CM8x38 provides more functions.
+- PCM playback switch
+- PCM capture switch (to capture the data sent to DAC)
+- Mic Boost switch
+- Mic capture volume
+- Aux playback volume/switch and capture switch
+- 3D control switch
+
+
+MIDI CONTROLLER
+---------------
+
+With CMI8338 chips, the MPU401-UART interface is disabled as default.
+You need to set the module option "mpu_port" to a valid I/O port address
+to enable MIDI support.  Valid I/O ports are 0x300, 0x310, 0x320 and
+0x330.  Choose a value that doesn't conflict with other cards.
+
+With CMI8738 and newer chips, the MIDI interface is enabled by default
+and the driver automatically chooses a port address.
+
+There is _no_ hardware wavetable function on this chip (except for
+OPL3 synth below).
+What's said as MIDI synth on Windows is a software synthesizer
+emulation.  On Linux use TiMidity or other softsynth program for
+playing MIDI music.
+
+
+FM OPL/3 Synth
+--------------
+
+The FM OPL/3 is also enabled as default only for the first card.
+Set "fm_port" module option for more cards.
+
+The output quality of FM OPL/3 is, however, very weird.
+I don't know why..
+
+CMI8768 and newer chips do not have the FM synth.
+
+
+Joystick and Modem
+------------------
+
+The legacy joystick is supported.  To enable the joystick support, pass
+joystick_port=1 module option.  The value 1 means the auto-detection.
+If the auto-detection fails, try to pass the exact I/O address.
+
+The modem is enabled dynamically via a card control switch "Modem".
+
+
+Debugging Information
+---------------------
+
+The registers are shown in /proc/asound/cardX/cmipci.  If you have any
+problem (especially unexpected behavior of mixer), please attach the
+output of this proc file together with the bug report.

+        One is the trees provided as a tarball or via cvs from the

+      tree. To synchronize both, the ALSA driver tree is split into
+      two different trees: alsa-kernel and alsa-driver. The former
+      contains purely the source code for the Linux 2.6 (or later)
+      tree. This tree is designed only for compilation on 2.6 or
+      later environment. The latter, alsa-driver, contains many subtle
+      files for compiling ALSA drivers outside of the Linux kernel tree,
+      wrapper functions for older 2.2 and 2.4 kernels, to adapt the latest kernel API,
+      and additional drivers which are still in development or in
+      tests.  The drivers in alsa-driver tree will be moved to

+      A card record is the headquarters of the soundcard.  It manages

+      record holds the ID and the name strings of the card, manages

+        and the size of extra-data space.  The last argument is used to

+      <para>
+        After the card is created, you can attach the components

+      represented as a struct <structname>snd_device</structname> object.
+      A component can be a PCM instance, a control interface, a raw

+

+        This takes the card pointer, the device-level
+      (<constant>SNDRV_DEV_XXX</constant>), the data pointer, and the

+      This function itself doesn't allocate the data space. The data

+      for the instance. 
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        Each pre-defined ALSA component such as ac97 and pcm calls

+

+        If you wish to create your own component, you need to

+      <para>
+        The allocation of I/O ports and irqs is done via standard kernel
+      functions. Unlike ALSA ver.0.5.x., there are no helpers for
+      that. And these resources must be released in the destructor
+      function (see below). Also, on ALSA 0.9.x, you don't need to
+      allocate (pseudo-)DMA for PCI like in ALSA 0.5.x.
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        Now assume that the PCI device has an I/O port with 8 bytes
+        and an interrupt. Then struct <structname>mychip</structname> will have the
+        following fields:
+
+        <informalexample>
+          <programlisting>
+<![CDATA[

+        </informalexample>
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        For an I/O port (and also a memory region), you need to have
+      the resource pointer for the standard resource management. For
+      an irq, you have to keep only the irq number (integer). But you
+      need to initialize this number as -1 before actual allocation,
+      since irq 0 is valid. The port address and its resource pointer
+      can be initialized as null by
+      <function>kzalloc()</function> automatically, so you
+      don't have to take care of resetting them. 
+      </para>
+
+      <para>

+

+      </para>
+

+      On the PCI bus, interrupts can be shared. Thus,

+
+      <para>
+        The last argument of <function>request_irq()</function> is the

+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        I won't give details about the interrupt handler at this
+        point, but at least its appearance can be explained now. The

+
+        <informalexample>
+          <programlisting>
+<![CDATA[

+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        Now let's write the corresponding destructor for the resources
+      above. The role of destructor is simple: disable the hardware
+      (if already activated) and release the resources. So far, we
+      have no hardware part, so the disabling code is not written here. 
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        To release the resources, the <quote>check-and-release</quote>
+        method is a safer way. For the interrupt, do like this: 
+
+        <informalexample>
+          <programlisting>
+<![CDATA[
+  if (chip->irq >= 0)
+          free_irq(chip->irq, chip);
+]]>
+          </programlisting>
+        </informalexample>
+
+        Since the irq number can start from 0, you should initialize
+        chip-&gt;irq with a negative value (e.g. -1), so that you can
+        check the validity of the irq number as above.
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        When you requested I/O ports or memory regions via

+      before the end.
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        And finally, release the chip-specific record.
+
+        <informalexample>

+
+      <para>
+      Again, remember that you cannot
+      use the <parameter>__devexit</parameter> prefix for this destructor. 
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+      We didn't implement the hardware disabling part in the above.
+      If you need to do this, please note that the destructor may be
+      called even before the initialization of the chip is completed.
+      It would be better to have a flag to skip hardware disabling
+      if the hardware was not initialized yet.
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+      When the chip-data is assigned to the card using
+      <function>snd_device_new()</function> with
+      <constant>SNDRV_DEV_LOWLELVEL</constant> , its destructor is 
+      called at the last.  That is, it is assured that all other

+      You don't have to stop PCMs, etc. explicitly, but just

+
+      <para>
+        The management of a memory-mapped region is almost as same as

+        The PCM middle layer of ALSA is quite powerful and it is only

+        Each card device can have up to four pcm instances. A pcm
+      instance corresponds to a pcm device file. The limitation of
+      number of instances comes only from the available bit size of
+      the Linux's device numbers. Once when 64bit device number is

+
+      <para>
+        A pcm instance consists of pcm playback and capture streams,
+      and each pcm stream consists of one or more pcm substreams. Some
+      soundcards support multiple playback functions. For example,
+      emu10k1 has a PCM playback of 32 stereo substreams. In this case, at
+      each open, a free substream is (usually) automatically chosen
+      and opened. Meanwhile, when only one substream exists and it was
+      already opened, the successful open will either block
+      or error with <constant>EAGAIN</constant> according to the
+      file open mode. But you don't have to care about such details in your

+	Ok, let's go back again to the PCM runtime records.
+	The most frequently referred records in the runtime instance are
+	the PCM configurations.
+	The PCM configurations are stored in the runtime instance
+	after the application sends <type>hw_params</type> data via
+	alsa-lib.  There are many fields copied from hw_params and
+	sw_params structs.  For example,

+	<constant>SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_XXX</constant>.
+	</para>
+
+	<para>
+	One thing to be noted is that the configured buffer and period
+	sizes are stored in <quote>frames</quote> in the runtime.
+        In the ALSA world, 1 frame = channels * samples-size.
+	For conversion between frames and bytes, you can use the
+	<function>frames_to_bytes()</function> and

+	The <structfield>dma_area</structfield> holds the buffer

+      <structfield>get</structfield> and
+      <structfield>put</structfield>. Then, define a

+      Use <constant>CARD</constant> for global controls that are not

+
+      <para>
+        The <structfield>private_value</structfield> field contains

+        ALSA provides several different buffer allocation functions

+      <title>External Hardware Buffers</title>
+      <para>
+        Some chips have their own hardware buffers and the DMA
+      transfer from the host memory is not available. In such a case,
+      you need to either 1) copy/set the audio data directly to the
+      external hardware buffer, or 2) make an intermediate buffer and
+      copy/set the data from it to the external hardware buffer in
+      interrupts (or in tasklets, preferably).
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        The first case works fine if the external hardware buffer is large
+      enough.  This method doesn't need any extra buffers and thus is
+      more effective. You need to define the
+      <structfield>copy</structfield> and
+      <structfield>silence</structfield> callbacks for 
+      the data transfer. However, there is a drawback: it cannot
+      be mmapped. The examples are GUS's GF1 PCM or emu8000's
+      wavetable PCM. 
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        The second case allows for mmap on the buffer, although you have
+      to handle an interrupt or a tasklet to transfer the data
+      from the intermediate buffer to the hardware buffer. You can find an
+      example in the vxpocket driver. 
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        Another case is when the chip uses a PCI memory-map
+      region for the buffer instead of the host memory. In this case,
+      mmap is available only on certain architectures like the Intel one.
+      In non-mmap mode, the data cannot be transferred as in the normal
+      way. Thus you need to define the <structfield>copy</structfield> and
+      <structfield>silence</structfield> callbacks as well, 
+      as in the cases above. The examples are found in
+      <filename>rme32.c</filename> and <filename>rme96.c</filename>. 
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        The implementation of the <structfield>copy</structfield> and
+        <structfield>silence</structfield> callbacks depends upon 
+        whether the hardware supports interleaved or non-interleaved
+        samples. The <structfield>copy</structfield> callback is
+        defined like below, a bit 
+        differently depending whether the direction is playback or
+        capture: 
+
+        <informalexample>
+          <programlisting>
+<![CDATA[

+  static int capture_copy(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream, int channel,
+               snd_pcm_uframes_t pos, void *dst, snd_pcm_uframes_t count);
+]]>
+          </programlisting>
+        </informalexample>
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        In the case of interleaved samples, the second argument
+      (<parameter>channel</parameter>) is not used. The third argument
+      (<parameter>pos</parameter>) points the 
+      current position offset in frames. 
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        The meaning of the fourth argument is different between
+      playback and capture. For playback, it holds the source data
+      pointer, and for capture, it's the destination data pointer. 
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        The last argument is the number of frames to be copied.
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        What you have to do in this callback is again different
+        between playback and capture directions. In the
+        playback case, you copy the given amount of data
+        (<parameter>count</parameter>) at the specified pointer
+        (<parameter>src</parameter>) to the specified offset
+        (<parameter>pos</parameter>) on the hardware buffer. When

+        <informalexample>
+          <programlisting>
+<![CDATA[

+

+        For the capture direction, you copy the given amount of
+        data (<parameter>count</parameter>) at the specified offset
+        (<parameter>pos</parameter>) on the hardware buffer to the
+        specified pointer (<parameter>dst</parameter>).

+      in frames. 
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        In the case of non-interleaved samples, the implementation
+      will be a bit more complicated. 
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        You need to check the channel argument, and if it's -1, copy
+      the whole channels. Otherwise, you have to copy only the
+      specified channel. Please check
+      <filename>isa/gus/gus_pcm.c</filename> as an example. 
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        The <structfield>silence</structfield> callback is also
+        implemented in a similar way. 
+
+        <informalexample>
+          <programlisting>
+<![CDATA[
+  static int silence(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream, int channel,

+]]>
+          </programlisting>
+        </informalexample>
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        The meanings of arguments are the same as in the
+      <structfield>copy</structfield> 
+      callback, although there is no <parameter>src/dst</parameter>
+      argument. In the case of interleaved samples, the channel
+      argument has no meaning, as well as on
+      <structfield>copy</structfield> callback.  
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        The role of <structfield>silence</structfield> callback is to
+        set the given amount 
+        (<parameter>count</parameter>) of silence data at the
+        specified offset (<parameter>pos</parameter>) on the hardware
+        buffer. Suppose that the data format is signed (that is, the

+
+        <informalexample>
+          <programlisting>

+    The file permissions can be changed afterwards.  As default, it's

+      If the chip is supposed to work with suspend/resume
+      functions, you need to add power-management code to the
+      driver. The additional code for power-management should be
+      <function>ifdef</function>'ed with
+      <constant>CONFIG_PM</constant>. 
+    </para>
+
+	<para>
+	If the driver <emphasis>fully</emphasis> supports suspend/resume
+	that is, the device can be
+	properly resumed to its state when suspend was called,
+	you can set the <constant>SNDRV_PCM_INFO_RESUME</constant> flag
+	in the pcm info field.  Usually, this is possible when the
+	registers of the chip can be safely saved and restored to
+	RAM. If this is set, the trigger callback is called with
+	<constant>SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_RESUME</constant> after the resume
+	callback completes. 
+	</para>
+
+	<para>
+	Even if the driver doesn't support PM fully but 
+	partial suspend/resume is still possible, it's still worthy to
+	implement suspend/resume callbacks. In such a case, applications
+	would reset the status by calling
+	<function>snd_pcm_prepare()</function> and restart the stream
+	appropriately.  Hence, you can define suspend/resume callbacks
+	below but don't set <constant>SNDRV_PCM_INFO_RESUME</constant>
+	info flag to the PCM.
+	</para>
+	
+	<para>
+	Note that the trigger with SUSPEND can always be called when
+	<function>snd_pcm_suspend_all</function> is called,
+	regardless of the <constant>SNDRV_PCM_INFO_RESUME</constant> flag.
+	The <constant>RESUME</constant> flag affects only the behavior
+	of <function>snd_pcm_resume()</function>.
+	(Thus, in theory,
+	<constant>SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_RESUME</constant> isn't needed
+	to be handled in the trigger callback when no
+	<constant>SNDRV_PCM_INFO_RESUME</constant> flag is set.  But,
+	it's better to keep it for compatibility reasons.)

+Analog Joystick Support on ALSA Drivers
+=======================================
+                          Oct. 14, 2003
+           Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
+
+General
+-------
+
+First of all, you need to enable GAMEPORT support on Linux kernel for
+using a joystick with the ALSA driver.  For the details of gameport
+support, refer to Documentation/input/joystick.txt.
+
+The joystick support of ALSA drivers is different between ISA and PCI
+cards.  In the case of ISA (PnP) cards, it's usually handled by the
+independent module (ns558).  Meanwhile, the ALSA PCI drivers have the
+built-in gameport support.  Hence, when the ALSA PCI driver is built
+in the kernel, CONFIG_GAMEPORT must be 'y', too.  Otherwise, the
+gameport support on that card will be (silently) disabled.
+
+Some adapter modules probe the physical connection of the device at
+the load time.  It'd be safer to plug in the joystick device before
+loading the module.
+
+
+PCI Cards
+---------
+
+For PCI cards, the joystick is enabled when the appropriate module
+option is specified.  Some drivers don't need options, and the
+joystick support is always enabled.  In the former ALSA version, there
+was a dynamic control API for the joystick activation.  It was
+changed, however, to the static module options because of the system
+stability and the resource management.
+
+The following PCI drivers support the joystick natively.
+
+    Driver	Module Option	Available Values
+    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+    als4000	joystick_port	0 = disable (default), 1 = auto-detect,
+                                manual: any address (e.g. 0x200)
+    au88x0	N/A		N/A
+    azf3328	joystick	0 = disable, 1 = enable, -1 = auto (default)
+    ens1370	joystick	0 = disable (default), 1 = enable
+    ens1371	joystick_port	0 = disable (default), 1 = auto-detect,
+                                manual: 0x200, 0x208, 0x210, 0x218
+    cmipci	joystick_port	0 = disable (default), 1 = auto-detect,
+                                manual: any address (e.g. 0x200)
+    cs4281	N/A		N/A
+    cs46xx	N/A		N/A
+    es1938	N/A		N/A
+    es1968	joystick	0 = disable (default), 1 = enable
+    sonicvibes	N/A		N/A
+    trident	N/A		N/A
+    via82xx(*1)	joystick	0 = disable (default), 1 = enable
+    ymfpci	joystick_port	0 = disable (default), 1 = auto-detect,
+                                manual: 0x201, 0x202, 0x204, 0x205(*2)
+    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+    *1)  VIA686A/B only
+    *2)  With YMF744/754 chips, the port address can be chosen arbitrarily
+
+The following drivers don't support gameport natively, but there are
+additional modules.  Load the corresponding module to add the gameport
+support.
+
+    Driver	Additional Module
+    -----------------------------
+    emu10k1	emu10k1-gp
+    fm801	fm801-gp
+    -----------------------------
+
+Note: the "pcigame" and "cs461x" modules are for the OSS drivers only.
+      These ALSA drivers (cs46xx, trident and au88x0) have the
+      built-in gameport support.
+
+As mentioned above, ALSA PCI drivers have the built-in gameport
+support, so you don't have to load ns558 module.  Just load "joydev"
+and the appropriate adapter module (e.g. "analog").
+
+
+ISA Cards
+---------
+
+ALSA ISA drivers don't have the built-in gameport support.
+Instead, you need to load "ns558" module in addition to "joydev" and
+the adapter module (e.g. "analog").

+    Alsa driver for Digigram miXart8 and miXart8AES/EBU soundcards
+	    Digigram <alsa@digigram.com>
+
+
+GENERAL
+=======
+
+The miXart8 is a multichannel audio processing and mixing soundcard
+that has 4 stereo audio inputs and 4 stereo audio outputs.
+The miXart8AES/EBU is the same with a add-on card that offers further
+4 digital stereo audio inputs and outputs.
+Furthermore the add-on card offers external clock synchronisation
+(AES/EBU, Word Clock, Time Code and Video Synchro)
+
+The mainboard has a PowerPC that offers onboard mpeg encoding and
+decoding, samplerate conversions and various effects.
+
+The driver don't work properly at all until the certain firmwares
+are loaded, i.e. no PCM nor mixer devices will appear.
+Use the mixartloader that can be found in the alsa-tools package.
+
+
+VERSION 0.1.0
+=============
+
+One miXart8 board will be represented as 4 alsa cards, each with 1
+stereo analog capture 'pcm0c' and 1 stereo analog playback 'pcm0p' device.
+With a miXart8AES/EBU there is in addition 1 stereo digital input
+'pcm1c' and 1 stereo digital output 'pcm1p' per card.
+
+Formats
+-------
+U8, S16_LE, S16_BE, S24_3LE, S24_3BE, FLOAT_LE, FLOAT_BE
+Sample rates : 8000 - 48000 Hz continuously
+
+Playback
+--------
+For instance the playback devices are configured to have max. 4
+substreams performing hardware mixing. This could be changed to a
+maximum of 24 substreams if wished.
+Mono files will be played on the left and right channel. Each channel
+can be muted for each stream to use 8 analog/digital outputs separately.
+
+Capture
+-------
+There is one substream per capture device. For instance only stereo
+formats are supported.
+
+Mixer
+-----
+<Master> and <Master Capture> : analog volume control of playback and capture PCM.
+<PCM 0-3> and <PCM Capture> : digital volume control of each analog substream.
+<AES 0-3> and <AES Capture> : digital volume control of each AES/EBU substream.
+<Monitoring> : Loopback from 'pcm0c' to 'pcm0p' with digital volume
+and mute control.
+
+Rem : for best audio quality try to keep a 0 attenuation on the PCM
+and AES volume controls which is set by 219 in the range from 0 to 255
+(about 86% with alsamixer)
+
+
+NOT YET IMPLEMENTED
+===================
+
+- external clock support (AES/EBU, Word Clock, Time Code, Video Sync)
+- MPEG audio formats
+- mono record
+- on-board effects and samplerate conversions
+- linked streams
+
+
+FIRMWARE
+========
+
+[As of 2.6.11, the firmware can be loaded automatically with hotplug
+ when CONFIG_FW_LOADER is set.  The mixartloader is necessary only
+ for older versions or when you build the driver into kernel.]
+ 
+For loading the firmware automatically after the module is loaded, use
+the post-install command.  For example, add the following entry to
+/etc/modprobe.conf for miXart driver:
+
+	install snd-mixart /sbin/modprobe --first-time -i snd-mixart && \
+			   /usr/bin/mixartloader
+(for 2.2/2.4 kernels, add "post-install snd-mixart /usr/bin/vxloader" to
+ /etc/modules.conf, instead.)
+
+The firmware binaries are installed on /usr/share/alsa/firmware
+(or /usr/local/share/alsa/firmware, depending to the prefix option of
+configure).  There will be a miXart.conf file, which define the dsp image
+files.

+		NOTES ON KERNEL OSS-EMULATION
+		=============================
+
+		Jan. 22, 2004  Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
+
+
+Modules
+=======
+
+ALSA provides a powerful OSS emulation on the kernel.
+The OSS emulation for PCM, mixer and sequencer devices is implemented
+as add-on kernel modules, snd-pcm-oss, snd-mixer-oss and snd-seq-oss.
+When you need to access the OSS PCM, mixer or sequencer devices, the
+corresponding module has to be loaded.
+
+These modules are loaded automatically when the corresponding service
+is called.  The alias is defined sound-service-x-y, where x and y are
+the card number and the minor unit number.  Usually you don't have to
+define these aliases by yourself.
+
+Only necessary step for auto-loading of OSS modules is to define the
+card alias in /etc/modprobe.conf, such as
+
+	alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1
+
+As the second card, define sound-slot-1 as well.
+Note that you can't use the aliased name as the target name (i.e.
+"alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0" doesn't work any more like the old
+modutils).
+
+The currently available OSS configuration is shown in
+/proc/asound/oss/sndstat.  This shows in the same syntax of
+/dev/sndstat, which is available on the commercial OSS driver.
+On ALSA, you can symlink /dev/sndstat to this proc file.
+
+Please note that the devices listed in this proc file appear only
+after the corresponding OSS-emulation module is loaded.  Don't worry
+even if "NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG" is shown in it.
+
+
+Device Mapping
+==============
+
+ALSA supports the following OSS device files:
+
+	PCM:
+		/dev/dspX
+		/dev/adspX
+
+	Mixer:
+		/dev/mixerX
+
+	MIDI:
+		/dev/midi0X
+		/dev/amidi0X
+
+	Sequencer:
+		/dev/sequencer
+		/dev/sequencer2 (aka /dev/music)
+
+where X is the card number from 0 to 7.
+
+(NOTE: Some distributions have the device files like /dev/midi0 and
+       /dev/midi1.  They are NOT for OSS but for tclmidi, which is
+       a totally different thing.)
+
+Unlike the real OSS, ALSA cannot use the device files more than the
+assigned ones.  For example, the first card cannot use /dev/dsp1 or
+/dev/dsp2, but only /dev/dsp0 and /dev/adsp0.
+
+As seen above, PCM and MIDI may have two devices.  Usually, the first
+PCM device (hw:0,0 in ALSA) is mapped to /dev/dsp and the secondary
+device (hw:0,1) to /dev/adsp (if available).  For MIDI, /dev/midi and
+/dev/amidi, respectively.
+
+You can change this device mapping via the module options of
+snd-pcm-oss and snd-rawmidi.  In the case of PCM, the following
+options are available for snd-pcm-oss:
+
+	dsp_map		PCM device number assigned to /dev/dspX
+			(default = 0)
+	adsp_map	PCM device number assigned to /dev/adspX
+			(default = 1)
+
+For example, to map the third PCM device (hw:0,2) to /dev/adsp0,
+define like this:
+
+	options snd-pcm-oss adsp_map=2
+
+The options take arrays.  For configuring the second card, specify
+two entries separated by comma.  For example, to map the third PCM
+device on the second card to /dev/adsp1, define like below:
+
+	options snd-pcm-oss adsp_map=0,2
+
+To change the mapping of MIDI devices, the following options are
+available for snd-rawmidi:
+
+	midi_map	MIDI device number assigned to /dev/midi0X
+			(default = 0)
+	amidi_map	MIDI device number assigned to /dev/amidi0X
+			(default = 1)
+
+For example, to assign the third MIDI device on the first card to
+/dev/midi00, define as follows:
+
+	options snd-rawmidi midi_map=2
+
+
+PCM Mode
+========
+
+As default, ALSA emulates the OSS PCM with so-called plugin layer,
+i.e. tries to convert the sample format, rate or channels
+automatically when the card doesn't support it natively.
+This will lead to some problems for some applications like quake or
+wine, especially if they use the card only in the MMAP mode.
+
+In such a case, you can change the behavior of PCM per application by
+writing a command to the proc file.  There is a proc file for each PCM
+stream, /proc/asound/cardX/pcmY[cp]/oss, where X is the card number
+(zero-based), Y the PCM device number (zero-based), and 'p' is for
+playback and 'c' for capture, respectively.  Note that this proc file
+exists only after snd-pcm-oss module is loaded.
+
+The command sequence has the following syntax:
+
+	app_name fragments fragment_size [options]
+
+app_name is the name of application with (higher priority) or without
+path.
+fragments specifies the number of fragments or zero if no specific
+number is given.
+fragment_size is the size of fragment in bytes or zero if not given.
+options is the optional parameters.  The following options are
+available:
+
+	disable		the application tries to open a pcm device for
+			this channel but does not want to use it.
+	direct		don't use plugins
+	block		force block open mode
+	non-block	force non-block open mode
+	partial-frag	write also partial fragments (affects playback only)
+	no-silence	do not fill silence ahead to avoid clicks
+
+The disable option is useful when one stream direction (playback or
+capture) is not handled correctly by the application although the
+hardware itself does support both directions.
+The direct option is used, as mentioned above, to bypass the automatic
+conversion and useful for MMAP-applications.
+For example, to playback the first PCM device without plugins for
+quake, send a command via echo like the following:
+
+	% echo "quake 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
+
+While quake wants only playback, you may append the second command
+to notify driver that only this direction is about to be allocated:
+
+	% echo "quake 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
+
+The permission of proc files depend on the module options of snd.
+As default it's set as root, so you'll likely need to be superuser for
+sending the command above.
+
+The block and non-block options are used to change the behavior of
+opening the device file.
+
+As default, ALSA behaves as original OSS drivers, i.e. does not block
+the file when it's busy. The -EBUSY error is returned in this case.
+
+This blocking behavior can be changed globally via nonblock_open
+module option of snd-pcm-oss.  For using the blocking mode as default
+for OSS devices, define like the following:
+
+	options snd-pcm-oss nonblock_open=0
+
+The partial-frag and no-silence commands have been added recently.
+Both commands are for optimization use only.  The former command
+specifies to invoke the write transfer only when the whole fragment is
+filled.  The latter stops writing the silence data ahead
+automatically.  Both are disabled as default.
+
+You can check the currently defined configuration by reading the proc
+file.  The read image can be sent to the proc file again, hence you
+can save the current configuration
+
+	% cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss > /somewhere/oss-cfg
+
+and restore it like
+
+	% cat /somewhere/oss-cfg > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
+
+Also, for clearing all the current configuration, send "erase" command
+as below:
+
+	% echo "erase" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
+
+
+Mixer Elements
+==============
+
+Since ALSA has completely different mixer interface, the emulation of
+OSS mixer is relatively complicated.  ALSA builds up a mixer element
+from several different ALSA (mixer) controls based on the name
+string.  For example, the volume element SOUND_MIXER_PCM is composed
+from "PCM Playback Volume" and "PCM Playback Switch" controls for the
+playback direction and from "PCM Capture Volume" and "PCM Capture
+Switch" for the capture directory (if exists).  When the PCM volume of
+OSS is changed, all the volume and switch controls above are adjusted
+automatically.
+
+As default, ALSA uses the following control for OSS volumes:
+
+	OSS volume		ALSA control		Index
+	-----------------------------------------------------
+	SOUND_MIXER_VOLUME 	Master			0
+	SOUND_MIXER_BASS	Tone Control - Bass	0
+	SOUND_MIXER_TREBLE	Tone Control - Treble	0
+	SOUND_MIXER_SYNTH	Synth			0
+	SOUND_MIXER_PCM		PCM			0
+	SOUND_MIXER_SPEAKER	PC Speaker 		0
+	SOUND_MIXER_LINE	Line			0
+	SOUND_MIXER_MIC		Mic 			0
+	SOUND_MIXER_CD		CD 			0
+	SOUND_MIXER_IMIX	Monitor Mix 		0
+	SOUND_MIXER_ALTPCM	PCM			1
+	SOUND_MIXER_RECLEV	(not assigned)
+	SOUND_MIXER_IGAIN	Capture			0
+	SOUND_MIXER_OGAIN	Playback		0
+	SOUND_MIXER_LINE1	Aux			0
+	SOUND_MIXER_LINE2	Aux			1
+	SOUND_MIXER_LINE3	Aux			2
+	SOUND_MIXER_DIGITAL1	Digital			0
+	SOUND_MIXER_DIGITAL2	Digital			1
+	SOUND_MIXER_DIGITAL3	Digital			2
+	SOUND_MIXER_PHONEIN	Phone			0
+	SOUND_MIXER_PHONEOUT	Phone			1
+	SOUND_MIXER_VIDEO	Video			0
+	SOUND_MIXER_RADIO	Radio			0
+	SOUND_MIXER_MONITOR	Monitor			0
+
+The second column is the base-string of the corresponding ALSA
+control.  In fact, the controls with "XXX [Playback|Capture]
+[Volume|Switch]" will be checked in addition.
+
+The current assignment of these mixer elements is listed in the proc
+file, /proc/asound/cardX/oss_mixer, which will be like the following
+
+	VOLUME "Master" 0
+	BASS "" 0
+	TREBLE "" 0
+	SYNTH "" 0
+	PCM "PCM" 0
+	...
+
+where the first column is the OSS volume element, the second column
+the base-string of the corresponding ALSA control, and the third the
+control index.  When the string is empty, it means that the
+corresponding OSS control is not available.
+
+For changing the assignment, you can write the configuration to this
+proc file.  For example, to map "Wave Playback" to the PCM volume,
+send the command like the following:
+
+	% echo 'VOLUME "Wave Playback" 0' > /proc/asound/card0/oss_mixer
+
+The command is exactly as same as listed in the proc file.  You can
+change one or more elements, one volume per line.  In the last
+example, both "Wave Playback Volume" and "Wave Playback Switch" will
+be affected when PCM volume is changed.
+
+Like the case of PCM proc file, the permission of proc files depend on
+the module options of snd.  you'll likely need to be superuser for
+sending the command above.
+
+As well as in the case of PCM proc file, you can save and restore the
+current mixer configuration by reading and writing the whole file
+image.
+
+
+Duplex Streams
+==============
+
+Note that when attempting to use a single device file for playback and
+capture, the OSS API provides no way to set the format, sample rate or
+number of channels different in each direction.  Thus
+	io_handle = open("device", O_RDWR)
+will only function correctly if the values are the same in each direction.
+
+To use different values in the two directions, use both
+	input_handle = open("device", O_RDONLY)
+	output_handle = open("device", O_WRONLY)
+and set the values for the corresponding handle.
+
+
+Unsupported Features
+====================
+
+MMAP on ICE1712 driver
+----------------------
+ICE1712 supports only the unconventional format, interleaved
+10-channels 24bit (packed in 32bit) format.  Therefore you cannot mmap
+the buffer as the conventional (mono or 2-channels, 8 or 16bit) format
+on OSS.

+		Proc Files of ALSA Drivers
+		==========================
+		Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
+
+General
+-------
+
+ALSA has its own proc tree, /proc/asound.  Many useful information are
+found in this tree.  When you encounter a problem and need debugging,
+check the files listed in the following sections.
+
+Each card has its subtree cardX, where X is from 0 to 7. The
+card-specific files are stored in the card* subdirectories.
+
+
+Global Information
+------------------
+
+cards
+	Shows the list of currently configured ALSA drivers,
+	index, the id string, short and long descriptions.
+
+version
+	Shows the version string and compile date.
+
+modules
+	Lists the module of each card
+
+devices
+	Lists the ALSA native device mappings.
+
+meminfo
+	Shows the status of allocated pages via ALSA drivers.
+	Appears only when CONFIG_SND_DEBUG=y.
+
+hwdep
+	Lists the currently available hwdep devices in format of
+	<card>-<device>: <name>
+
+pcm
+	Lists the currently available PCM devices in format of
+	<card>-<device>: <id>: <name> : <sub-streams>
+
+timer
+	Lists the currently available timer devices
+
+
+oss/devices
+	Lists the OSS device mappings.
+
+oss/sndstat
+	Provides the output compatible with /dev/sndstat.
+	You can symlink this to /dev/sndstat.
+
+
+Card Specific Files
+-------------------
+
+The card-specific files are found in /proc/asound/card* directories.
+Some drivers (e.g. cmipci) have their own proc entries for the
+register dump, etc (e.g. /proc/asound/card*/cmipci shows the register
+dump).  These files would be really helpful for debugging.
+
+When PCM devices are available on this card, you can see directories
+like pcm0p or pcm1c.  They hold the PCM information for each PCM
+stream.  The number after 'pcm' is the PCM device number from 0, and
+the last 'p' or 'c' means playback or capture direction.  The files in
+this subtree is described later.
+
+The status of MIDI I/O is found in midi* files.  It shows the device
+name and the received/transmitted bytes through the MIDI device.
+
+When the card is equipped with AC97 codecs, there are codec97#*
+subdirectories (described later).
+
+When the OSS mixer emulation is enabled (and the module is loaded),
+oss_mixer file appears here, too.  This shows the current mapping of
+OSS mixer elements to the ALSA control elements.  You can change the
+mapping by writing to this device.  Read OSS-Emulation.txt for
+details.
+
+
+PCM Proc Files
+--------------
+
+card*/pcm*/info
+	The general information of this PCM device: card #, device #,
+	substreams, etc.
+
+card*/pcm*/xrun_debug
+	This file appears when CONFIG_SND_DEBUG=y.
+	This shows the status of xrun (= buffer overrun/xrun) debug of
+	ALSA PCM middle layer, as an integer from 0 to 2.  The value
+	can be changed by writing to this file, such as
+
+		 # cat 2 > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/xrun_debug
+
+	When this value is greater than 0, the driver will show the
+	messages to kernel log when an xrun is detected.  The debug
+	message is shown also when the invalid H/W pointer is detected
+	at the update of periods (usually called from the interrupt
+	handler).
+
+	When this value is greater than 1, the driver will show the
+	stack trace additionally.  This may help the debugging.
+
+card*/pcm*/sub*/info
+	The general information of this PCM sub-stream.
+
+card*/pcm*/sub*/status
+	The current status of this PCM sub-stream, elapsed time,
+	H/W position, etc.
+
+card*/pcm*/sub*/hw_params
+	The hardware parameters set for this sub-stream.
+
+card*/pcm*/sub*/sw_params
+	The soft parameters set for this sub-stream.
+
+card*/pcm*/sub*/prealloc
+	The buffer pre-allocation information.
+
+
+AC97 Codec Information
+----------------------
+
+card*/codec97#*/ac97#?-?
+	Shows the general information of this AC97 codec chip, such as
+	name, capabilities, set up.
+
+card*/codec97#0/ac97#?-?+regs
+	Shows the AC97 register dump.  Useful for debugging.
+
+	When CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is enabled, you can write to this file for
+	changing an AC97 register directly.  Pass two hex numbers.
+	For example,
+
+	# echo 02 9f1f > /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/ac97#0-0+regs
+
+
+USB Audio Streams
+-----------------
+
+card*/stream*
+	Shows the assignment and the current status of each audio stream
+	of the given card.  This information is very useful for debugging.
+
+
+HD-Audio Codecs
+---------------
+
+card*/codec#*
+	Shows the general codec information and the attribute of each
+	widget node.
+
+
+Sequencer Information
+---------------------
+
+seq/drivers
+	Lists the currently available ALSA sequencer drivers.
+
+seq/clients
+	Shows the list of currently available sequencer clients and
+	ports.  The connection status and the running status are shown
+	in this file, too.
+
+seq/queues
+	Lists the currently allocated/running sequencer queues.
+
+seq/timer
+	Lists the currently allocated/running sequencer timers.
+
+seq/oss
+	Lists the OSS-compatible sequencer stuffs.
+
+
+Help For Debugging?
+-------------------
+
+When the problem is related with PCM, first try to turn on xrun_debug
+mode.  This will give you the kernel messages when and where xrun
+happened.
+
+If it's really a bug, report it with the following information:
+
+  - the name of the driver/card, show in /proc/asound/cards
+  - the register dump, if available (e.g. card*/cmipci)
+
+when it's a PCM problem,
+
+  - set-up of PCM, shown in hw_parms, sw_params, and status in the PCM
+    sub-stream directory
+
+when it's a mixer problem,
+
+  - AC97 proc files, codec97#*/* files
+
+for USB audio/midi,
+
+  - output of lsusb -v
+  - stream* files in card directory

+
+		Sound Blaster Live mixer / default DSP code
+		===========================================
+
+
+The EMU10K1 chips have a DSP part which can be programmed to support
+various ways of sample processing, which is described here.
+(This article does not deal with the overall functionality of the 
+EMU10K1 chips. See the manuals section for further details.)
+
+The ALSA driver programs this portion of chip by default code
+(can be altered later) which offers the following functionality:
+
+
+1) IEC958 (S/PDIF) raw PCM
+--------------------------
+
+This PCM device (it's the 4th PCM device (index 3!) and first subdevice
+(index 0) for a given card) allows to forward 48kHz, stereo, 16-bit
+little endian streams without any modifications to the digital output
+(coaxial or optical). The universal interface allows the creation of up
+to 8 raw PCM devices operating at 48kHz, 16-bit little endian. It would
+be easy to add support for multichannel devices to the current code,
+but the conversion routines exist only for stereo (2-channel streams)
+at the time. 
+
+Look to tram_poke routines in lowlevel/emu10k1/emufx.c for more details.
+
+
+2) Digital mixer controls
+-------------------------
+
+These controls are built using the DSP instructions. They offer extended
+functionality. Only the default build-in code in the ALSA driver is described
+here. Note that the controls work as attenuators: the maximum value is the 
+neutral position leaving the signal unchanged. Note that if the  same destination 
+is mentioned in multiple controls, the signal is accumulated and can be wrapped 
+(set to maximal or minimal value without checking of overflow).
+
+
+Explanation of used abbreviations:
+
+DAC    - digital to analog converter
+ADC    - analog to digital converter
+I2S    - one-way three wire serial bus for digital sound by Philips Semiconductors
+         (this standard is used for connecting standalone DAC and ADC converters)
+LFE    - low frequency effects (subwoofer signal)
+AC97   - a chip containing an analog mixer, DAC and ADC converters
+IEC958 - S/PDIF
+FX-bus - the EMU10K1 chip has an effect bus containing 16 accumulators.
+         Each of the synthesizer voices can feed its output to these accumulators
+         and the DSP microcontroller can operate with the resulting sum.
+
+
+name='Wave Playback Volume',index=0
+
+This control is used to attenuate samples for left and right PCM FX-bus
+accumulators. ALSA uses accumulators 0 and 1 for left and right PCM samples.

+
+This control is used to attenuate samples for left and right PCM FX-bus
+accumulators. ALSA uses accumulators 0 and 1 for left and right PCM samples.

+
+name='Tone Control - Bass',index=0
+
+This control sets the bass intensity. There is no neutral value!!
+When the tone control code is activated, the samples are always modified.
+The closest value to pure signal is 20.
+
+name='Tone Control - Treble',index=0

+
+If this switch is on, then the sample for the center PCM is put to the
+right headphone output (useful for SB Live cards without separate center/LFE
+output).
+
+
+3) PCM stream related controls
+------------------------------
+
+name='EMU10K1 PCM Volume',index 0-31
+
+Channel volume attenuation in range 0-0xffff. The maximum value (no
+attenuation) is default. The channel mapping for three values is
+as follows:
+
+	0 - mono, default 0xffff (no attenuation)
+	1 - left, default 0xffff (no attenuation)
+	2 - right, default 0xffff (no attenuation)
+
+name='EMU10K1 PCM Send Routing',index 0-31
+
+This control specifies the destination - FX-bus accumulators. There are
+twelve values with this mapping:
+
+	 0 -  mono, A destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 0
+	 1 -  mono, B destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 1
+	 2 -  mono, C destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 2
+	 3 -  mono, D destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 3
+	 4 -  left, A destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 0
+	 5 -  left, B destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 1
+	 6 -  left, C destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 2
+	 7 -  left, D destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 3
+	 8 - right, A destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 0
+	 9 - right, B destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 1
+	10 - right, C destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 2
+	11 - right, D destination (FX-bus 0-15), default 3
+
+Don't forget that it's illegal to assign a channel to the same FX-bus accumulator 
+more than once (it means 0=0 && 1=0 is an invalid combination).
+ 
+name='EMU10K1 PCM Send Volume',index 0-31
+
+It specifies the attenuation (amount) for given destination in range 0-255.
+The channel mapping is following:
+
+	 0 -  mono, A destination attn, default 255 (no attenuation)
+	 1 -  mono, B destination attn, default 255 (no attenuation)
+	 2 -  mono, C destination attn, default 0 (mute)
+	 3 -  mono, D destination attn, default 0 (mute)
+	 4 -  left, A destination attn, default 255 (no attenuation)
+	 5 -  left, B destination attn, default 0 (mute)
+	 6 -  left, C destination attn, default 0 (mute)
+	 7 -  left, D destination attn, default 0 (mute)
+	 8 - right, A destination attn, default 0 (mute)
+	 9 - right, B destination attn, default 255 (no attenuation)
+	10 - right, C destination attn, default 0 (mute)
+	11 - right, D destination attn, default 0 (mute)

+latency, multichannel features offered by the "kX ASIO" feature of their
+Windows driver.  As of ALSA 1.0.9 this is no more!
+
+For those unfamiliar with kX ASIO, this consists of 16 capture and 16 playback
+channels.  With a post 2.6.9 Linux kernel, latencies down to 64 (1.33 ms) or
+even 32 (0.66ms) frames should work well.
+
+The configuration is slightly more involved than on Windows, as you have to
+select the correct device for JACK to use.  Actually, for qjackctl users it's
+fairly self explanatory - select Duplex, then for capture and playback select
+the multichannel devices, set the in and out channels to 16, and the sample
+rate to 48000Hz.  The command line looks like this:
+
+/usr/local/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -r48000 -p64 -n2 -D -Chw:0,2 -Phw:0,3 -S
+
+This will give you 16 input ports and 16 output ports.
+
+The 16 output ports map onto the 16 FX buses (or the first 16 of 64, for the
+Audigy).  The mapping from FX bus to physical output is described in
+SB-Live-mixer.txt (or Audigy-mixer.txt).
+
+The 16 input ports are connected to the 16 physical inputs.  Contrary to
+popular belief, all emu10k1 cards are multichannel cards.  Which of these
+input channels have physical inputs connected to them depends on the card
+model.  Trial and error is highly recommended; the pinout diagrams
+for the card have been reverse engineered by some enterprising kX users and are 
+available on the internet.  Meterbridge is helpful here, and the kX forums are
+packed with useful information.
+
+Each input port will either correspond to a digital (SPDIF) input, an analog
+input, or nothing.  The one exception is the SBLive! 5.1.  On these devices,
+the second and third input ports are wired to the center/LFE output.  You will
+still see 16 capture channels, but only 14 are available for recording inputs.
+
+This chart, borrowed from kxfxlib/da_asio51.cpp, describes the mapping of JACK
+ports to FXBUS2 (multitrack recording input) and EXTOUT (physical output)
+channels.

+Notes on Universal Interface for Intel High Definition Audio Codec
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
+
+
+[Still a draft version]
+
+
+General
+=======
+
+The snd-hda-codec module supports the generic access function for the
+High Definition (HD) audio codecs.  It's designed to be independent
+from the controller code like ac97 codec module.  The real accessors
+from/to the controller must be implemented in the lowlevel driver.
+
+The structure of this module is similar with ac97_codec module.
+Each codec chip belongs to a bus class which communicates with the
+controller.
+
+
+Initialization of Bus Instance
+==============================
+
+The card driver has to create struct hda_bus at first.  The template
+struct should be filled and passed to the constructor:
+
+struct hda_bus_template {
+	void *private_data;
+	struct pci_dev *pci;
+	const char *modelname;
+	struct hda_bus_ops ops;
+};
+
+The card driver can set and use the private_data field to retrieve its
+own data in callback functions.  The pci field is used when the patch
+needs to check the PCI subsystem IDs, so on.  For non-PCI system, it
+doesn't have to be set, of course.
+The modelname field specifies the board's specific configuration.  The
+string is passed to the codec parser, and it depends on the parser how
+the string is used.
+These fields, private_data, pci and modelname are all optional.
+
+The ops field contains the callback functions as the following:
+
+struct hda_bus_ops {
+	int (*command)(struct hda_codec *codec, hda_nid_t nid, int direct,
+		       unsigned int verb, unsigned int parm);
+	unsigned int (*get_response)(struct hda_codec *codec);
+	void (*private_free)(struct hda_bus *);
+#ifdef CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE
+	void (*pm_notify)(struct hda_codec *codec);
+#endif
+};
+
+The command callback is called when the codec module needs to send a
+VERB to the controller.  It's always a single command.
+The get_response callback is called when the codec requires the answer
+for the last command.  These two callbacks are mandatory and have to
+be given.
+The third, private_free callback, is optional.  It's called in the
+destructor to release any necessary data in the lowlevel driver.
+
+The pm_notify callback is available only with
+CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE kconfig.  It's called when the codec needs
+to power up or may power down.  The controller should check the all
+belonging codecs on the bus whether they are actually powered off
+(check codec->power_on), and optionally the driver may power down the
+controller side, too.
+
+The bus instance is created via snd_hda_bus_new().  You need to pass
+the card instance, the template, and the pointer to store the
+resultant bus instance.
+
+int snd_hda_bus_new(struct snd_card *card, const struct hda_bus_template *temp,
+		    struct hda_bus **busp);
+
+It returns zero if successful.  A negative return value means any
+error during creation.
+
+
+Creation of Codec Instance
+==========================
+
+Each codec chip on the board is then created on the BUS instance.
+To create a codec instance, call snd_hda_codec_new().
+
+int snd_hda_codec_new(struct hda_bus *bus, unsigned int codec_addr,
+		      struct hda_codec **codecp);
+
+The first argument is the BUS instance, the second argument is the
+address of the codec, and the last one is the pointer to store the
+resultant codec instance (can be NULL if not needed).
+
+The codec is stored in a linked list of bus instance.  You can follow
+the codec list like:
+
+	struct hda_codec *codec;
+	list_for_each_entry(codec, &bus->codec_list, list) {
+		...
+	}
+
+The codec isn't initialized at this stage properly.  The
+initialization sequence is called when the controls are built later.
+
+
+Codec Access
+============
+
+To access codec, use snd_hda_codec_read() and snd_hda_codec_write().
+snd_hda_param_read() is for reading parameters.
+For writing a sequence of verbs, use snd_hda_sequence_write().
+
+There are variants of cached read/write, snd_hda_codec_write_cache(),
+snd_hda_sequence_write_cache().  These are used for recording the
+register states for the power-mangement resume.  When no PM is needed,
+these are equivalent with non-cached version.
+
+To retrieve the number of sub nodes connected to the given node, use
+snd_hda_get_sub_nodes().  The connection list can be obtained via
+snd_hda_get_connections() call.
+
+When an unsolicited event happens, pass the event via
+snd_hda_queue_unsol_event() so that the codec routines will process it
+later.
+
+
+(Mixer) Controls
+================
+
+To create mixer controls of all codecs, call
+snd_hda_build_controls().  It then builds the mixers and does
+initialization stuff on each codec.
+
+
+PCM Stuff
+=========
+
+snd_hda_build_pcms() gives the necessary information to create PCM
+streams.  When it's called, each codec belonging to the bus stores 
+codec->num_pcms and codec->pcm_info fields.  The num_pcms indicates
+the number of elements in pcm_info array.  The card driver is supposed
+to traverse the codec linked list, read the pcm information in
+pcm_info array, and build pcm instances according to them. 
+
+The pcm_info array contains the following record:
+
+/* PCM information for each substream */
+struct hda_pcm_stream {
+	unsigned int substreams;	/* number of substreams, 0 = not exist */
+	unsigned int channels_min;	/* min. number of channels */
+	unsigned int channels_max;	/* max. number of channels */
+	hda_nid_t nid;	/* default NID to query rates/formats/bps, or set up */
+	u32 rates;	/* supported rates */
+	u64 formats;	/* supported formats (SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_) */
+	unsigned int maxbps;	/* supported max. bit per sample */
+	struct hda_pcm_ops ops;
+};
+
+/* for PCM creation */
+struct hda_pcm {
+	char *name;
+	struct hda_pcm_stream stream[2];
+};
+
+The name can be passed to snd_pcm_new().  The stream field contains
+the information  for playback (SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK = 0) and
+capture (SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_CAPTURE = 1) directions.  The card driver
+should pass substreams to snd_pcm_new() for the number of substreams
+to create.
+
+The channels_min, channels_max, rates and formats should be copied to
+runtime->hw record.  They and maxbps fields are used also to compute
+the format value for the HDA codec and controller.  Call
+snd_hda_calc_stream_format() to get the format value.
+
+The ops field contains the following callback functions:
+
+struct hda_pcm_ops {
+	int (*open)(struct hda_pcm_stream *info, struct hda_codec *codec,
+		    struct snd_pcm_substream *substream);
+	int (*close)(struct hda_pcm_stream *info, struct hda_codec *codec,
+		     struct snd_pcm_substream *substream);
+	int (*prepare)(struct hda_pcm_stream *info, struct hda_codec *codec,
+		       unsigned int stream_tag, unsigned int format,
+		       struct snd_pcm_substream *substream);
+	int (*cleanup)(struct hda_pcm_stream *info, struct hda_codec *codec,
+		       struct snd_pcm_substream *substream);
+};
+
+All are non-NULL, so you can call them safely without NULL check.
+
+The open callback should be called in PCM open after runtime->hw is
+set up.  It may override some setting and constraints additionally.
+Similarly, the close callback should be called in the PCM close.
+
+The prepare callback should be called in PCM prepare.  This will set
+up the codec chip properly for the operation.  The cleanup should be
+called in hw_free to clean up the configuration.
+
+The caller should check the return value, at least for open and
+prepare callbacks.  When a negative value is returned, some error
+occurred.
+
+
+Proc Files
+==========
+
+Each codec dumps the widget node information in
+/proc/asound/card*/codec#* file.  This information would be really
+helpful for debugging.  Please provide its contents together with the
+bug report.
+
+
+Power Management
+================
+
+It's simple:
+Call snd_hda_suspend() in the PM suspend callback.
+Call snd_hda_resume() in the PM resume callback.
+
+
+Codec Preset (Patch)
+====================
+
+To set up and handle the codec functionality fully, each codec may
+have a codec preset (patch).  It's defined in struct hda_codec_preset:
+
+	struct hda_codec_preset {
+		unsigned int id;
+		unsigned int mask;
+		unsigned int subs;
+		unsigned int subs_mask;
+		unsigned int rev;
+		const char *name;
+		int (*patch)(struct hda_codec *codec);
+	};
+
+When the codec id and codec subsystem id match with the given id and
+subs fields bitwise (with bitmask mask and subs_mask), the callback
+patch is called.  The patch callback should initialize the codec and
+set the codec->patch_ops field.  This is defined as below:
+
+	struct hda_codec_ops {
+		int (*build_controls)(struct hda_codec *codec);
+		int (*build_pcms)(struct hda_codec *codec);
+		int (*init)(struct hda_codec *codec);
+		void (*free)(struct hda_codec *codec);
+		void (*unsol_event)(struct hda_codec *codec, unsigned int res);
+	#ifdef CONFIG_PM
+		int (*suspend)(struct hda_codec *codec, pm_message_t state);
+		int (*resume)(struct hda_codec *codec);
+	#endif
+	#ifdef CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE
+		int (*check_power_status)(struct hda_codec *codec,
+					  hda_nid_t nid);
+	#endif
+	};
+
+The build_controls callback is called from snd_hda_build_controls().
+Similarly, the build_pcms callback is called from
+snd_hda_build_pcms().  The init callback is called after
+build_controls to initialize the hardware.
+The free callback is called as a destructor.
+
+The unsol_event callback is called when an unsolicited event is
+received.
+
+The suspend and resume callbacks are for power management.
+They can be NULL if no special sequence is required.  When the resume
+callback is NULL, the driver calls the init callback and resumes the
+registers from the cache.  If other handling is needed, you'd need to
+write your own resume callback.  There, the amp values can be resumed
+via
+	void snd_hda_codec_resume_amp(struct hda_codec *codec);
+and the other codec registers via
+	void snd_hda_codec_resume_cache(struct hda_codec *codec);
+
+The check_power_status callback is called when the amp value of the
+given widget NID is changed.  The codec code can turn on/off the power
+appropriately from this information.
+
+Each entry can be NULL if not necessary to be called.
+
+
+Generic Parser
+==============
+
+When the device doesn't match with any given presets, the widgets are
+parsed via th generic parser (hda_generic.c).  Its support is
+limited: no multi-channel support, for example.
+
+
+Digital I/O
+===========
+
+Call snd_hda_create_spdif_out_ctls() from the patch to create controls
+related with SPDIF out.
+
+
+Helper Functions
+================
+
+snd_hda_get_codec_name() stores the codec name on the given string.
+
+snd_hda_check_board_config() can be used to obtain the configuration
+information matching with the device.  Define the model string table
+and the table with struct snd_pci_quirk entries (zero-terminated),
+and pass it to the function.  The function checks the modelname given
+as a module parameter, and PCI subsystem IDs.  If the matching entry
+is found, it returns the config field value.
+
+snd_hda_add_new_ctls() can be used to create and add control entries.
+Pass the zero-terminated array of struct snd_kcontrol_new
+
+Macros HDA_CODEC_VOLUME(), HDA_CODEC_MUTE() and their variables can be
+used for the entry of struct snd_kcontrol_new.
+
+The input MUX helper callbacks for such a control are provided, too:
+snd_hda_input_mux_info() and snd_hda_input_mux_put().  See
+patch_realtek.c for example.

+Software Interface ALSA-DSP MADI Driver 
+
+(translated from German, so no good English ;-), 
+2004 - winfried ritsch
+
+
+
+ Full functionality has been added to the driver. Since some of
+ the Controls and startup-options  are ALSA-Standard and only the
+ special Controls are described and discussed below.
+
+
+ hardware functionality:
+
+   
+   Audio transmission:
+
+     number of channels --  depends on transmission mode
+
+		The number of channels chosen is from 1..Nmax. The reason to
+		use for a lower number of channels is only resource allocation,
+		since unused DMA channels are disabled and less memory is
+		allocated. So also the throughput of the PCI system can be
+		scaled. (Only important for low performance boards).
+
+       Single Speed -- 1..64 channels 
+
+		 (Note: Choosing the 56channel mode for transmission or as
+		 receiver, only 56 are transmitted/received over the MADI, but
+		 all 64 channels are available for the mixer, so channel count
+		 for the driver)
+
+       Double Speed -- 1..32 channels
+
+		 Note: Choosing the 56-channel mode for
+		 transmission/receive-mode , only 28 are transmitted/received
+		 over the MADI, but all 32 channels are available for the mixer,
+		 so channel count for the driver
+
+
+       Quad Speed -- 1..16 channels 
+
+		 Note: Choosing the 56-channel mode for
+		 transmission/receive-mode , only 14 are transmitted/received
+		 over the MADI, but all 16 channels are available for the mixer,
+		 so channel count for the driver
+
+     Format -- signed 32 Bit Little Endian (SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S32_LE)
+
+     Sample Rates --
+
+       Single Speed -- 32000, 44100, 48000
+
+       Double Speed -- 64000, 88200, 96000 (untested)
+
+       Quad Speed -- 128000, 176400, 192000 (untested)
+
+     access-mode -- MMAP (memory mapped), Not interleaved
+     (PCM_NON-INTERLEAVED)
+

+
+     fragments -- 2
+
+     Hardware-pointer -- 2 Modi
+
+
+		 The Card supports the readout of the actual Buffer-pointer,
+		 where DMA reads/writes. Since of the bulk mode of PCI it is only
+		 64 Byte accurate. SO it is not really usable for the
+		 ALSA-mid-level functions (here the buffer-ID gives a better
+		 result), but if MMAP is used by the application. Therefore it
+		 can be configured at load-time with the parameter
+		 precise-pointer.
+
+
+		 (Hint: Experimenting I found that the pointer is maximum 64 to
+		 large never to small. So if you subtract 64 you always have a
+		 safe pointer for writing, which is used on this mode inside
+		 ALSA. In theory now you can get now a latency as low as 16
+		 Samples, which is a quarter of the interrupt possibilities.)
+
+       Precise Pointer -- off
+					interrupt used for pointer-calculation
+
+       Precise Pointer -- on
+					hardware pointer used.
+
+   Controller:
+
+
+	  Since DSP-MADI-Mixer has 8152 Fader, it does not make sense to
+	  use the standard mixer-controls, since this would break most of
+	  (especially graphic) ALSA-Mixer GUIs. So Mixer control has be
+	  provided by a 2-dimensional controller using the
+	  hwdep-interface. 
+
+     Also all 128+256 Peak and RMS-Meter can be accessed via the
+     hwdep-interface. Since it could be a performance problem always
+     copying and converting Peak and RMS-Levels even if you just need
+     one, I decided to export the hardware structure, so that of
+     needed some driver-guru can implement a memory-mapping of mixer
+     or peak-meters over ioctl, or also to do only copying and no
+     conversion. A test-application shows the usage of the controller.
+
+    Latency Controls --- not implemented !!!
+
+
+	   Note: Within the windows-driver the latency is accessible of a
+	   control-panel, but buffer-sizes are controlled with ALSA from
+	   hwparams-calls and should not be changed in run-state, I did not
+	   implement it here.

+		  !!!! This is a hardware-function but is in conflict with the
+		  Clock-source controller, which is a kind of ALSA-standard. I
+		  makes sense to set the card to a special mode (master at some
+		  frequency or slave), since even not using an Audio-application
+		  a studio should have working synchronisations setup. So use
+		  Clock-source-controller instead !!!!

+Notes on Power-Saving Mode
+==========================
+
+AC97 and HD-audio drivers have the automatic power-saving mode.
+This feature is enabled via Kconfig CONFIG_SND_AC97_POWER_SAVE
+and CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE options, respectively.
+
+With the automatic power-saving, the driver turns off the codec power
+appropriately when no operation is required.  When no applications use
+the device and/or no analog loopback is set, the power disablement is
+done fully or partially.  It'll save a certain power consumption, thus
+good for laptops (even for desktops).
+
+The time-out for automatic power-off can be specified via power_save
+module option of snd-ac97-codec and snd-hda-intel modules.  Specify
+the time-out value in seconds.  0 means to disable the automatic
+power-saving.  The default value of timeout is given via
+CONFIG_SND_AC97_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT and
+CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT Kconfig options.  Setting this to 1
+(the minimum value) isn't recommended because many applications try to
+reopen the device frequently.  10 would be a good choice for normal
+operations.
+
+The power_save option is exported as writable.  This means you can
+adjust the value via sysfs on the fly.  For example, to turn on the
+automatic power-save mode with 10 seconds, write to
+/sys/modules/snd_ac97_codec/parameters/power_save (usually as root):
+
+	# echo 10 > /sys/modules/snd_ac97_codec/parameters/power_save
+
+
+Note that you might hear click noise/pop when changing the power
+state.  Also, it often takes certain time to wake up from the
+power-down to the active state.  These are often hardly to fix, so
+don't report extra bug reports unless you have a fix patch ;-)
+
+For HD-audio interface, there is another module option,
+power_save_controller.  This enables/disables the power-save mode of
+the controller side.  Setting this on may reduce a bit more power
+consumption, but might result in longer wake-up time and click noise.
+Try to turn it off when you experience such a thing too often.

+<P>ver.0.1.8; Nov. 16, 1999
+<H2>
+
+<HR WIDTH="100%"></H2>
+
+<H2>
+1. Description</H2>
+This directory contains the OSS sequencer emulation driver on ALSA. Note
+that this program is still in the development state.
+<P>What this does - it provides the emulation of the OSS sequencer, access
+via
+<TT>/dev/sequencer</TT> and <TT>/dev/music</TT> devices.
+The most of applications using OSS can run if the appropriate ALSA
+sequencer is prepared.
+<P>The following features are emulated by this driver:
+<UL>
+<LI>
+Normal sequencer and MIDI events:</LI>
+
+<BR>They are converted to the ALSA sequencer events, and sent to the corresponding
+port.
+<LI>
+Timer events:</LI>
+
+<BR>The timer is not selectable by ioctl. The control rate is fixed to
+100 regardless of HZ. That is, even on Alpha system, a tick is always
+1/100 second. The base rate and tempo can be changed in <TT>/dev/music</TT>.
+
+<LI>
+Patch loading:</LI>
+
+<BR>It purely depends on the synth drivers whether it's supported since
+the patch loading is realized by callback to the synth driver.
+<LI>
+I/O controls:</LI>
+
+<BR>Most of controls are accepted. Some controls
+are dependent on the synth driver, as well as even on original OSS.</UL>
+Furthermore, you can find the following advanced features:
+<UL>
+<LI>
+Better queue mechanism:</LI>
+
+<BR>The events are queued before processing them.
+<LI>
+Multiple applications:</LI>
+
+<BR>You can run two or more applications simultaneously (even for OSS sequencer)!
+However, each MIDI device is exclusive - that is, if a MIDI device is opened
+once by some application, other applications can't use it. No such a restriction
+in synth devices.
+<LI>
+Real-time event processing:</LI>
+
+<BR>The events can be processed in real time without using out of bound
+ioctl. To switch to real-time mode, send ABSTIME 0 event. The followed
+events will be processed in real-time without queued. To switch off the
+real-time mode, send RELTIME 0 event.
+<LI>
+<TT>/proc</TT> interface:</LI>
+
+<BR>The status of applications and devices can be shown via <TT>/proc/asound/seq/oss</TT>
+at any time. In the later version, configuration will be changed via <TT>/proc</TT>
+interface, too.</UL>
+
+<H2>
+2. Installation</H2>
+Run configure script with both sequencer support (<TT>--with-sequencer=yes</TT>)
+and OSS emulation (<TT>--with-oss=yes</TT>) options. A module <TT>snd-seq-oss.o</TT>
+will be created. If the synth module of your sound card supports for OSS
+emulation (so far, only Emu8000 driver), this module will be loaded automatically.
+Otherwise, you need to load this module manually.
+<P>At beginning, this module probes all the MIDI ports which have been
+already connected to the sequencer. Once after that, the creation and deletion
+of ports are watched by announcement mechanism of ALSA sequencer.
+<P>The available synth and MIDI devices can be found in proc interface.
+Run "<TT>cat /proc/asound/seq/oss</TT>", and check the devices. For example,
+if you use an AWE64 card, you'll see like the following:
+<PRE>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; OSS sequencer emulation version 0.1.8
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ALSA client number 63
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ALSA receiver port 0
+
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Number of applications: 0
+
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Number of synth devices: 1
+
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; synth 0: [EMU8000]
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; type 0x1 : subtype 0x20 : voices 32
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; capabilties : ioctl enabled / load_patch enabled
+
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Number of MIDI devices: 3
+
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; midi 0: [Emu8000 Port-0] ALSA port 65:0
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; capability write / opened none
+
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; midi 1: [Emu8000 Port-1] ALSA port 65:1
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; capability write / opened none
+
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; midi 2: [0: MPU-401 (UART)] ALSA port 64:0
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; capability read/write / opened none</PRE>
+Note that the device number may be different from the information of
+<TT>/proc/asound/oss-devices</TT>
+or ones of the original OSS driver. Use the device number listed in <TT>/proc/asound/seq/oss</TT>
+to play via OSS sequencer emulation.
+<H2>
+3. Using Synthesizer Devices</H2>
+Run your favorite program. I've tested playmidi-2.4, awemidi-0.4.3, gmod-3.1
+and xmp-1.1.5. You can load samples via <TT>/dev/sequencer</TT> like sfxload,
+too.
+<P>If the lowlevel driver supports multiple access to synth devices (like
+Emu8000 driver), two or more applications are allowed to run at the same
+time.
+<H2>
+4. Using MIDI Devices</H2>
+So far, only MIDI output was tested. MIDI input was not checked at all,
+but hopefully it will work. Use the device number listed in <TT>/proc/asound/seq/oss</TT>.
+Be aware that these numbers are mostly different from the list in
+<TT>/proc/asound/oss-devices</TT>.
+<H2>
+5. Module Options</H2>
+The following module options are available:
+<UL>
+<LI>
+<TT>maxqlen</TT></LI>
+
+<BR>specifies the maximum read/write queue length. This queue is private
+for OSS sequencer, so that it is independent from the queue length of ALSA
+sequencer. Default value is 1024.
+<LI>
+<TT>seq_oss_debug</TT></LI>
+
+<BR>specifies the debug level and accepts zero (= no debug message) or
+positive integer. Default value is 0.</UL>
+
+<H2>
+6. Queue Mechanism</H2>
+OSS sequencer emulation uses an ALSA priority queue. The
+events from <TT>/dev/sequencer</TT> are processed and put onto the queue
+specified by module option.
+<P>All the events from <TT>/dev/sequencer</TT> are parsed at beginning.
+The timing events are also parsed at this moment, so that the events may
+be processed in real-time. Sending an event ABSTIME 0 switches the operation
+mode to real-time mode, and sending an event RELTIME 0 switches it off.
+In the real-time mode, all events are dispatched immediately.
+<P>The queued events are dispatched to the corresponding ALSA sequencer
+ports after scheduled time by ALSA sequencer dispatcher.
+<P>If the write-queue is full, the application sleeps until a certain amount
+(as default one half) becomes empty in blocking mode. The synchronization
+to write timing was implemented, too.
+<P>The input from MIDI devices or echo-back events are stored on read FIFO
+queue. If application reads <TT>/dev/sequencer</TT> in blocking mode, the
+process will be awaked.
+
+<H2>
+7. Interface to Synthesizer Device</H2>
+
+<H3>
+7.1. Registration</H3>
+To register an OSS synthesizer device, use <TT>snd_seq_oss_synth_register</TT>
+function.
+<PRE>int snd_seq_oss_synth_register(char *name, int type, int subtype, int nvoices,
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; snd_seq_oss_callback_t *oper, void *private_data)</PRE>
+The arguments <TT>name</TT>, <TT>type</TT>, <TT>subtype</TT> and
+<TT>nvoices</TT>
+are used for making the appropriate synth_info structure for ioctl. The
+return value is an index number of this device. This index must be remembered
+for unregister. If registration is failed, -errno will be returned.
+<P>To release this device, call <TT>snd_seq_oss_synth_unregister function</TT>:
+<PRE>int snd_seq_oss_synth_unregister(int index),</PRE>
+where the <TT>index</TT> is the index number returned by register function.
+<H3>
+7.2. Callbacks</H3>
+OSS synthesizer devices have capability for sample downloading and ioctls
+like sample reset. In OSS emulation, these special features are realized
+by using callbacks. The registration argument oper is used to specify these
+callbacks. The following callback functions must be defined:
+<PRE>snd_seq_oss_callback_t:
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; int (*open)(snd_seq_oss_arg_t *p, void *closure);
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; int (*close)(snd_seq_oss_arg_t *p);
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; int (*ioctl)(snd_seq_oss_arg_t *p, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg);
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; int (*load_patch)(snd_seq_oss_arg_t *p, int format, const char *buf, int offs, int count);
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; int (*reset)(snd_seq_oss_arg_t *p);
+Except for <TT>open</TT> and <TT>close</TT> callbacks, they are allowed
+to be NULL.
+<P>Each callback function takes the argument type snd_seq_oss_arg_t as the
+first argument.
+<PRE>struct snd_seq_oss_arg_t {
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; int app_index;
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; int file_mode;
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; int seq_mode;
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; snd_seq_addr_t addr;
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; void *private_data;
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; int event_passing;
+};</PRE>
+The first three fields, <TT>app_index</TT>, <TT>file_mode</TT> and
+<TT>seq_mode</TT>
+are initialized by OSS sequencer. The <TT>app_index</TT> is the application
+index which is unique to each application opening OSS sequencer. The
+<TT>file_mode</TT>
+is bit-flags indicating the file operation mode. See
+<TT>seq_oss.h</TT>
+for its meaning. The <TT>seq_mode</TT> is sequencer operation mode. In
+the current version, only <TT>SND_OSSSEQ_MODE_SYNTH</TT> is used.
+<P>The next two fields, <TT>addr</TT> and <TT>private_data</TT>, must be
+filled by the synth driver at open callback. The <TT>addr</TT> contains
+the address of ALSA sequencer port which is assigned to this device. If
+the driver allocates memory for <TT>private_data</TT>, it must be released
+in close callback by itself.
+<P>The last field, <TT>event_passing</TT>, indicates how to translate note-on
+/ off events. In <TT>PROCESS_EVENTS</TT> mode, the note 255 is regarded
+as velocity change, and key pressure event is passed to the port. In <TT>PASS_EVENTS</TT>
+mode, all note on/off events are passed to the port without modified. <TT>PROCESS_KEYPRESS</TT>
+mode checks the note above 128 and regards it as key pressure event (mainly
+for Emu8000 driver).
+<H4>
+7.2.1. Open Callback</H4>
+The <TT>open</TT> is called at each time this device is opened by an application
+using OSS sequencer. This must not be NULL. Typically, the open callback
+does the following procedure:
+<OL>
+<LI>
+Allocate private data record.</LI>
+
+<LI>
+Create an ALSA sequencer port.</LI>
+
+<LI>
+Set the new port address on arg->addr.</LI>
+
+<LI>
+Set the private data record pointer on arg->private_data.</LI>
+</OL>
+Note that the type bit-flags in port_info of this synth port must NOT contain
+<TT>TYPE_MIDI_GENERIC</TT>
+bit. Instead, <TT>TYPE_SPECIFIC</TT> should be used. Also, <TT>CAP_SUBSCRIPTION</TT>
+bit should NOT be included, too. This is necessary to tell it from other
+normal MIDI devices. If the open procedure succeeded, return zero. Otherwise,
+return -errno.
+<H4>
+7.2.2 Ioctl Callback</H4>
+The <TT>ioctl</TT> callback is called when the sequencer receives device-specific
+ioctls. The following two ioctls should be processed by this callback:
+<UL>
+<LI>
+<TT>IOCTL_SEQ_RESET_SAMPLES</TT></LI>
+
+<BR>reset all samples on memory -- return 0
+<LI>
+<TT>IOCTL_SYNTH_MEMAVL</TT></LI>
+
+<BR>return the available memory size
+<LI>
+<TT>FM_4OP_ENABLE</TT></LI>
+
+<BR>can be ignored usually</UL>
+The other ioctls are processed inside the sequencer without passing to
+the lowlevel driver.
+<H4>
+7.2.3 Load_Patch Callback</H4>
+The <TT>load_patch</TT> callback is used for sample-downloading. This callback
+must read the data on user-space and transfer to each device. Return 0
+if succeeded, and -errno if failed. The format argument is the patch key
+in patch_info record. The buf is user-space pointer where patch_info record
+is stored. The offs can be ignored. The count is total data size of this
+sample data.
+<H4>
+7.2.4 Close Callback</H4>
+The <TT>close</TT> callback is called when this device is closed by the
+applicaion. If any private data was allocated in open callback, it must
+be released in the close callback. The deletion of ALSA port should be
+done here, too. This callback must not be NULL.
+<H4>
+7.2.5 Reset Callback</H4>
+The <TT>reset</TT> callback is called when sequencer device is reset or
+closed by applications. The callback should turn off the sounds on the
+relevant port immediately, and initialize the status of the port. If this
+callback is undefined, OSS seq sends a <TT>HEARTBEAT</TT> event to the
+port.
+<H3>
+7.3 Events</H3>
+Most of the events are processed by sequencer and translated to the adequate
+ALSA sequencer events, so that each synth device can receive by input_event
+callback of ALSA sequencer port. The following ALSA events should be implemented
+by the driver:

+<P>The most of these behavior can be realized by MIDI emulation driver

+type SND_SEQ_OSS_PRIVATE.  The OSS sequencer passes these event 8 byte
+packets without any modification. The lowlevel driver should process these
+events appropriately.
+<H2>
+8. Interface to MIDI Device</H2>
+Since the OSS emulation probes the creation and deletion of ALSA MIDI sequencer
+ports automatically by receiving announcement from ALSA sequencer, the
+MIDI devices don't need to be registered explicitly like synth devices.
+However, the MIDI port_info registered to ALSA sequencer must include a group
+name <TT>SND_SEQ_GROUP_DEVICE</TT> and a capability-bit <TT>CAP_READ</TT> or
+<TT>CAP_WRITE</TT>. Also, subscription capabilities, <TT>CAP_SUBS_READ</TT> or <TT>CAP_SUBS_WRITE</TT>,
+must be defined, too. If these conditions are not satisfied, the port is not
+registered as OSS sequencer MIDI device.
+<P>The events via MIDI devices are parsed in OSS sequencer and converted
+to the corresponding ALSA sequencer events. The input from MIDI sequencer
+is also converted to MIDI byte events by OSS sequencer. This works just
+a reverse way of seq_midi module.

+			Serial UART 16450/16550 MIDI driver
+			===================================
+
+The adaptor module parameter allows you to select either:
+
+  0 - Roland Soundcanvas support (default)
+  1 - Midiator MS-124T support (1)
+  2 - Midiator MS-124W S/A mode (2)
+  3 - MS-124W M/B mode support (3)
+  4 - Generic device with multiple input support (4)
+
+For the Midiator MS-124W, you must set the physical M-S and A-B
+switches on the Midiator to match the driver mode you select.
+
+In Roland Soundcanvas mode, multiple ALSA raw MIDI substreams are supported
+(midiCnD0-midiCnD15).  Whenever you write to a different substream, the driver
+sends the nonstandard MIDI command sequence F5 NN, where NN is the substream
+number plus 1.  Roland modules use this command to switch between different
+"parts", so this feature lets you treat each part as a distinct raw MIDI
+substream. The driver provides no way to send F5 00 (no selection) or to not
+send the F5 NN command sequence at all; perhaps it ought to.
+
+Usage example for simple serial converter:
+
+	/sbin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
+	/sbin/modprobe snd-serial-u16550 port=0x3f8 irq=4 speed=115200
+
+Usage example for Roland SoundCanvas with 4 MIDI ports:
+
+	/sbin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
+	/sbin/modprobe snd-serial-u16550 port=0x3f8 irq=4 outs=4
+
+In MS-124T mode, one raw MIDI substream is supported (midiCnD0); the outs
+module parameter is automatically set to 1. The driver sends the same data to
+all four MIDI Out connectors.  Set the A-B switch and the speed module
+parameter to match (A=19200, B=9600).
+
+Usage example for MS-124T, with A-B switch in A position:
+
+	/sbin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
+	/sbin/modprobe snd-serial-u16550 port=0x3f8 irq=4 adaptor=1 \
+			speed=19200
+
+In MS-124W S/A mode, one raw MIDI substream is supported (midiCnD0);
+the outs module parameter is automatically set to 1. The driver sends
+the same data to all four MIDI Out connectors at full MIDI speed.
+
+Usage example for S/A mode:
+
+	/sbin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
+	/sbin/modprobe snd-serial-u16550 port=0x3f8 irq=4 adaptor=2
+
+In MS-124W M/B mode, the driver supports 16 ALSA raw MIDI substreams;
+the outs module parameter is automatically set to 16.  The substream
+number gives a bitmask of which MIDI Out connectors the data should be
+sent to, with midiCnD1 sending to Out 1, midiCnD2 to Out 2, midiCnD4 to
+Out 3, and midiCnD8 to Out 4.  Thus midiCnD15 sends the data to all 4 ports.
+As a special case, midiCnD0 also sends to all ports, since it is not useful
+to send the data to no ports.  M/B mode has extra overhead to select the MIDI
+Out for each byte, so the aggregate data rate across all four MIDI Outs is
+at most one byte every 520 us, as compared with the full MIDI data rate of
+one byte every 320 us per port.
+
+Usage example for M/B mode:
+
+	/sbin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
+	/sbin/modprobe snd-serial-u16550 port=0x3f8 irq=4 adaptor=3
+
+The MS-124W hardware's M/A mode is currently not supported. This mode allows
+the MIDI Outs to act independently at double the aggregate throughput of M/B,
+but does not allow sending the same byte simultaneously to multiple MIDI Outs. 
+The M/A protocol requires the driver to twiddle the modem control lines under
+timing constraints, so it would be a bit more complicated to implement than
+the other modes.
+
+Midiator models other than MS-124W and MS-124T are currently not supported. 
+Note that the suffix letter is significant; the MS-124 and MS-124B are not
+compatible, nor are the other known models MS-101, MS-101B, MS-103, and MS-114.
+I do have documentation (tim.mann@compaq.com) that partially covers these models,
+but no units to experiment with.  The MS-124W support is tested with a real unit.
+The MS-124T support is untested, but should work.
+
+The Generic driver supports multiple input and output substreams over a single
+serial port.  Similar to Roland Soundcanvas mode, F5 NN is used to select the
+appropriate input or output stream (depending on the data direction).
+Additionally, the CTS signal is used to regulate the data flow.  The number of
+inputs is specified by the ins parameter.

+ASoC currently supports the three main Digital Audio Interfaces (DAI) found on
+SoC controllers and portable audio CODECs today, namely AC97, I2S and PCM.
+
+
+AC97
+====
+
+  AC97 is a five wire interface commonly found on many PC sound cards. It is
+now also popular in many portable devices. This DAI has a reset line and time
+multiplexes its data on its SDATA_OUT (playback) and SDATA_IN (capture) lines.
+The bit clock (BCLK) is always driven by the CODEC (usually 12.288MHz) and the
+frame (FRAME) (usually 48kHz) is always driven by the controller. Each AC97
+frame is 21uS long and is divided into 13 time slots.
+
+The AC97 specification can be found at :-
+http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/audio/ac97_r23.pdf
+
+
+I2S
+===
+
+ I2S is a common 4 wire DAI used in HiFi, STB and portable devices. The Tx and
+Rx lines are used for audio transmission, whilst the bit clock (BCLK) and
+left/right clock (LRC) synchronise the link. I2S is flexible in that either the
+controller or CODEC can drive (master) the BCLK and LRC clock lines. Bit clock
+usually varies depending on the sample rate and the master system clock
+(SYSCLK). LRCLK is the same as the sample rate. A few devices support separate
+ADC and DAC LRCLKs, this allows for simultaneous capture and playback at
+different sample rates.
+
+I2S has several different operating modes:-
+
+ o I2S - MSB is transmitted on the falling edge of the first BCLK after LRC
+         transition.
+
+ o Left Justified - MSB is transmitted on transition of LRC.
+
+ o Right Justified - MSB is transmitted sample size BCLKs before LRC
+                     transition.
+
+PCM
+===
+
+PCM is another 4 wire interface, very similar to I2S, which can support a more
+flexible protocol. It has bit clock (BCLK) and sync (SYNC) lines that are used
+to synchronise the link whilst the Tx and Rx lines are used to transmit and
+receive the audio data. Bit clock usually varies depending on sample rate
+whilst sync runs at the sample rate. PCM also supports Time Division
+Multiplexing (TDM) in that several devices can use the bus simultaneously (this
+is sometimes referred to as network mode).
+
+Common PCM operating modes:-
+
+ o Mode A - MSB is transmitted on falling edge of first BCLK after FRAME/SYNC.
+
+ o Mode B - MSB is transmitted on rising edge of FRAME/SYNC.

+Audio Clocking
+==============
+
+This text describes the audio clocking terms in ASoC and digital audio in
+general. Note: Audio clocking can be complex!
+
+
+Master Clock
+------------
+
+Every audio subsystem is driven by a master clock (sometimes referred to as MCLK
+or SYSCLK). This audio master clock can be derived from a number of sources
+(e.g. crystal, PLL, CPU clock) and is responsible for producing the correct
+audio playback and capture sample rates.
+
+Some master clocks (e.g. PLLs and CPU based clocks) are configurable in that
+their speed can be altered by software (depending on the system use and to save
+power). Other master clocks are fixed at a set frequency (i.e. crystals).
+
+
+DAI Clocks
+----------
+The Digital Audio Interface is usually driven by a Bit Clock (often referred to
+as BCLK). This clock is used to drive the digital audio data across the link
+between the codec and CPU.
+
+The DAI also has a frame clock to signal the start of each audio frame. This
+clock is sometimes referred to as LRC (left right clock) or FRAME. This clock
+runs at exactly the sample rate (LRC = Rate).
+
+Bit Clock can be generated as follows:-
+
+BCLK = MCLK / x
+
+ or
+
+BCLK = LRC * x
+
+ or
+
+BCLK = LRC * Channels * Word Size
+
+This relationship depends on the codec or SoC CPU in particular. In general
+it is best to configure BCLK to the lowest possible speed (depending on your
+rate, number of channels and word size) to save on power.
+
+It is also desirable to use the codec (if possible) to drive (or master) the
+audio clocks as it usually gives more accurate sample rates than the CPU.

+ASoC Codec Driver
+=================
+
+The codec driver is generic and hardware independent code that configures the
+codec to provide audio capture and playback. It should contain no code that is
+specific to the target platform or machine. All platform and machine specific
+code should be added to the platform and machine drivers respectively.
+
+Each codec driver *must* provide the following features:-
+
+ 1) Codec DAI and PCM configuration
+ 2) Codec control IO - using I2C, 3 Wire(SPI) or both APIs
+ 3) Mixers and audio controls
+ 4) Codec audio operations
+
+Optionally, codec drivers can also provide:-
+
+ 5) DAPM description.
+ 6) DAPM event handler.
+ 7) DAC Digital mute control.
+
+Its probably best to use this guide in conjunction with the existing codec
+driver code in sound/soc/codecs/
+
+ASoC Codec driver breakdown
+===========================
+
+1 - Codec DAI and PCM configuration
+-----------------------------------
+Each codec driver must have a struct snd_soc_codec_dai to define its DAI and
+PCM capabilities and operations. This struct is exported so that it can be
+registered with the core by your machine driver.
+
+e.g.
+
+struct snd_soc_codec_dai wm8731_dai = {
+	.name = "WM8731",
+	/* playback capabilities */
+	.playback = {
+		.stream_name = "Playback",
+		.channels_min = 1,
+		.channels_max = 2,
+		.rates = WM8731_RATES,
+		.formats = WM8731_FORMATS,},
+	/* capture capabilities */
+	.capture = {
+		.stream_name = "Capture",
+		.channels_min = 1,
+		.channels_max = 2,
+		.rates = WM8731_RATES,
+		.formats = WM8731_FORMATS,},
+	/* pcm operations - see section 4 below */
+	.ops = {
+		.prepare = wm8731_pcm_prepare,
+		.hw_params = wm8731_hw_params,
+		.shutdown = wm8731_shutdown,
+	},
+	/* DAI operations - see DAI.txt */
+	.dai_ops = {
+		.digital_mute = wm8731_mute,
+		.set_sysclk = wm8731_set_dai_sysclk,
+		.set_fmt = wm8731_set_dai_fmt,
+	}
+};
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(wm8731_dai);
+
+
+2 - Codec control IO
+--------------------
+The codec can usually be controlled via an I2C or SPI style interface
+(AC97 combines control with data in the DAI). The codec drivers provide
+functions to read and write the codec registers along with supplying a
+register cache:-
+
+	/* IO control data and register cache */
+	void *control_data; /* codec control (i2c/3wire) data */
+	void *reg_cache;
+
+Codec read/write should do any data formatting and call the hardware
+read write below to perform the IO. These functions are called by the
+core and ALSA when performing DAPM or changing the mixer:-
+
+    unsigned int (*read)(struct snd_soc_codec *, unsigned int);
+    int (*write)(struct snd_soc_codec *, unsigned int, unsigned int);
+
+Codec hardware IO functions - usually points to either the I2C, SPI or AC97
+read/write:-
+
+	hw_write_t hw_write;
+	hw_read_t hw_read;
+
+
+3 - Mixers and audio controls
+-----------------------------
+All the codec mixers and audio controls can be defined using the convenience
+macros defined in soc.h.
+
+    #define SOC_SINGLE(xname, reg, shift, mask, invert)
+
+Defines a single control as follows:-
+
+  xname = Control name e.g. "Playback Volume"
+  reg = codec register
+  shift = control bit(s) offset in register
+  mask = control bit size(s) e.g. mask of 7 = 3 bits
+  invert = the control is inverted
+
+Other macros include:-
+
+    #define SOC_DOUBLE(xname, reg, shift_left, shift_right, mask, invert)
+
+A stereo control
+
+    #define SOC_DOUBLE_R(xname, reg_left, reg_right, shift, mask, invert)
+
+A stereo control spanning 2 registers
+
+    #define SOC_ENUM_SINGLE(xreg, xshift, xmask, xtexts)
+
+Defines an single enumerated control as follows:-
+
+   xreg = register
+   xshift = control bit(s) offset in register
+   xmask = control bit(s) size
+   xtexts = pointer to array of strings that describe each setting
+
+   #define SOC_ENUM_DOUBLE(xreg, xshift_l, xshift_r, xmask, xtexts)
+
+Defines a stereo enumerated control
+
+
+4 - Codec Audio Operations
+--------------------------
+The codec driver also supports the following ALSA operations:-
+
+/* SoC audio ops */
+struct snd_soc_ops {
+	int (*startup)(struct snd_pcm_substream *);
+	void (*shutdown)(struct snd_pcm_substream *);
+	int (*hw_params)(struct snd_pcm_substream *, struct snd_pcm_hw_params *);
+	int (*hw_free)(struct snd_pcm_substream *);
+	int (*prepare)(struct snd_pcm_substream *);
+};
+
+Please refer to the ALSA driver PCM documentation for details.
+http://www.alsa-project.org/~iwai/writing-an-alsa-driver/c436.htm
+
+
+5 - DAPM description.
+---------------------
+The Dynamic Audio Power Management description describes the codec power
+components and their relationships and registers to the ASoC core.
+Please read dapm.txt for details of building the description.
+
+Please also see the examples in other codec drivers.
+
+
+6 - DAPM event handler
+----------------------
+This function is a callback that handles codec domain PM calls and system
+domain PM calls (e.g. suspend and resume). It is used to put the codec
+to sleep when not in use.
+
+Power states:-
+
+	SNDRV_CTL_POWER_D0: /* full On */
+	/* vref/mid, clk and osc on, active */
+
+	SNDRV_CTL_POWER_D1: /* partial On */
+	SNDRV_CTL_POWER_D2: /* partial On */
+
+	SNDRV_CTL_POWER_D3hot: /* Off, with power */
+	/* everything off except vref/vmid, inactive */
+
+	SNDRV_CTL_POWER_D3cold: /* Everything Off, without power */
+
+
+7 - Codec DAC digital mute control
+----------------------------------
+Most codecs have a digital mute before the DACs that can be used to
+minimise any system noise.  The mute stops any digital data from
+entering the DAC.
+
+A callback can be created that is called by the core for each codec DAI
+when the mute is applied or freed.
+
+i.e.
+
+static int wm8974_mute(struct snd_soc_codec *codec,
+	struct snd_soc_codec_dai *dai, int mute)
+{
+	u16 mute_reg = wm8974_read_reg_cache(codec, WM8974_DAC) & 0xffbf;
+	if(mute)
+		wm8974_write(codec, WM8974_DAC, mute_reg | 0x40);
+	else
+		wm8974_write(codec, WM8974_DAC, mute_reg);
+	return 0;
+}

+Dynamic Audio Power Management for Portable Devices
+===================================================
+
+1. Description
+==============
+
+Dynamic Audio Power Management (DAPM) is designed to allow portable
+Linux devices to use the minimum amount of power within the audio
+subsystem at all times. It is independent of other kernel PM and as
+such, can easily co-exist with the other PM systems.
+
+DAPM is also completely transparent to all user space applications as
+all power switching is done within the ASoC core. No code changes or
+recompiling are required for user space applications. DAPM makes power
+switching decisions based upon any audio stream (capture/playback)
+activity and audio mixer settings within the device.
+
+DAPM spans the whole machine. It covers power control within the entire
+audio subsystem, this includes internal codec power blocks and machine
+level power systems.
+
+There are 4 power domains within DAPM
+
+   1. Codec domain - VREF, VMID (core codec and audio power)
+      Usually controlled at codec probe/remove and suspend/resume, although
+      can be set at stream time if power is not needed for sidetone, etc.
+
+   2. Platform/Machine domain - physically connected inputs and outputs
+      Is platform/machine and user action specific, is configured by the
+      machine driver and responds to asynchronous events e.g when HP
+      are inserted
+
+   3. Path domain - audio susbsystem signal paths
+      Automatically set when mixer and mux settings are changed by the user.
+      e.g. alsamixer, amixer.
+
+   4. Stream domain - DACs and ADCs.
+      Enabled and disabled when stream playback/capture is started and
+      stopped respectively. e.g. aplay, arecord.
+
+All DAPM power switching decisions are made automatically by consulting an audio
+routing map of the whole machine. This map is specific to each machine and
+consists of the interconnections between every audio component (including
+internal codec components). All audio components that effect power are called
+widgets hereafter.
+
+
+2. DAPM Widgets
+===============
+
+Audio DAPM widgets fall into a number of types:-
+
+ o Mixer      - Mixes several analog signals into a single analog signal.
+ o Mux        - An analog switch that outputs only one of many inputs.
+ o PGA        - A programmable gain amplifier or attenuation widget.
+ o ADC        - Analog to Digital Converter
+ o DAC        - Digital to Analog Converter
+ o Switch     - An analog switch
+ o Input      - A codec input pin
+ o Output     - A codec output pin
+ o Headphone  - Headphone (and optional Jack)
+ o Mic        - Mic (and optional Jack)
+ o Line       - Line Input/Output (and optional Jack)
+ o Speaker    - Speaker
+ o Pre        - Special PRE widget (exec before all others)
+ o Post       - Special POST widget (exec after all others)
+
+(Widgets are defined in include/sound/soc-dapm.h)
+
+Widgets are usually added in the codec driver and the machine driver. There are
+convenience macros defined in soc-dapm.h that can be used to quickly build a
+list of widgets of the codecs and machines DAPM widgets.
+
+Most widgets have a name, register, shift and invert. Some widgets have extra
+parameters for stream name and kcontrols.
+
+
+2.1 Stream Domain Widgets
+-------------------------
+
+Stream Widgets relate to the stream power domain and only consist of ADCs
+(analog to digital converters) and DACs (digital to analog converters).
+
+Stream widgets have the following format:-
+
+SND_SOC_DAPM_DAC(name, stream name, reg, shift, invert),
+
+NOTE: the stream name must match the corresponding stream name in your codec
+snd_soc_codec_dai.
+
+e.g. stream widgets for HiFi playback and capture
+
+SND_SOC_DAPM_DAC("HiFi DAC", "HiFi Playback", REG, 3, 1),
+SND_SOC_DAPM_ADC("HiFi ADC", "HiFi Capture", REG, 2, 1),
+
+
+2.2 Path Domain Widgets
+-----------------------
+
+Path domain widgets have a ability to control or affect the audio signal or
+audio paths within the audio subsystem. They have the following form:-
+
+SND_SOC_DAPM_PGA(name, reg, shift, invert, controls, num_controls)
+
+Any widget kcontrols can be set using the controls and num_controls members.
+
+e.g. Mixer widget (the kcontrols are declared first)
+
+/* Output Mixer */
+static const snd_kcontrol_new_t wm8731_output_mixer_controls[] = {
+SOC_DAPM_SINGLE("Line Bypass Switch", WM8731_APANA, 3, 1, 0),
+SOC_DAPM_SINGLE("Mic Sidetone Switch", WM8731_APANA, 5, 1, 0),
+SOC_DAPM_SINGLE("HiFi Playback Switch", WM8731_APANA, 4, 1, 0),
+};
+
+SND_SOC_DAPM_MIXER("Output Mixer", WM8731_PWR, 4, 1, wm8731_output_mixer_controls,
+	ARRAY_SIZE(wm8731_output_mixer_controls)),
+
+
+2.3 Platform/Machine domain Widgets
+-----------------------------------
+
+Machine widgets are different from codec widgets in that they don't have a
+codec register bit associated with them. A machine widget is assigned to each
+machine audio component (non codec) that can be independently powered. e.g.
+
+ o Speaker Amp
+ o Microphone Bias
+ o Jack connectors
+
+A machine widget can have an optional call back.
+
+e.g. Jack connector widget for an external Mic that enables Mic Bias
+when the Mic is inserted:-
+
+static int spitz_mic_bias(struct snd_soc_dapm_widget* w, int event)
+{
+	gpio_set_value(SPITZ_GPIO_MIC_BIAS, SND_SOC_DAPM_EVENT_ON(event));
+	return 0;
+}
+
+SND_SOC_DAPM_MIC("Mic Jack", spitz_mic_bias),
+
+
+2.4 Codec Domain
+----------------
+
+The codec power domain has no widgets and is handled by the codecs DAPM event
+handler. This handler is called when the codec powerstate is changed wrt to any
+stream event or by kernel PM events.
+
+
+2.5 Virtual Widgets
+-------------------
+
+Sometimes widgets exist in the codec or machine audio map that don't have any
+corresponding soft power control. In this case it is necessary to create
+a virtual widget - a widget with no control bits e.g.
+
+SND_SOC_DAPM_MIXER("AC97 Mixer", SND_SOC_DAPM_NOPM, 0, 0, NULL, 0),
+
+This can be used to merge to signal paths together in software.
+
+After all the widgets have been defined, they can then be added to the DAPM
+subsystem individually with a call to snd_soc_dapm_new_control().
+
+
+3. Codec Widget Interconnections
+================================
+
+Widgets are connected to each other within the codec and machine by audio paths
+(called interconnections). Each interconnection must be defined in order to
+create a map of all audio paths between widgets.
+
+This is easiest with a diagram of the codec (and schematic of the machine audio
+system), as it requires joining widgets together via their audio signal paths.
+
+e.g., from the WM8731 output mixer (wm8731.c)
+
+The WM8731 output mixer has 3 inputs (sources)
+
+ 1. Line Bypass Input
+ 2. DAC (HiFi playback)
+ 3. Mic Sidetone Input
+
+Each input in this example has a kcontrol associated with it (defined in example
+above) and is connected to the output mixer via it's kcontrol name. We can now
+connect the destination widget (wrt audio signal) with it's source widgets.
+
+	/* output mixer */
+	{"Output Mixer", "Line Bypass Switch", "Line Input"},
+	{"Output Mixer", "HiFi Playback Switch", "DAC"},
+	{"Output Mixer", "Mic Sidetone Switch", "Mic Bias"},
+
+So we have :-
+
+	Destination Widget  <=== Path Name <=== Source Widget
+
+Or:-
+
+	Sink, Path, Source
+
+Or :-
+
+	"Output Mixer" is connected to the "DAC" via the "HiFi Playback Switch".
+
+When there is no path name connecting widgets (e.g. a direct connection) we
+pass NULL for the path name.
+
+Interconnections are created with a call to:-
+
+snd_soc_dapm_connect_input(codec, sink, path, source);
+
+Finally, snd_soc_dapm_new_widgets(codec) must be called after all widgets and
+interconnections have been registered with the core. This causes the core to
+scan the codec and machine so that the internal DAPM state matches the
+physical state of the machine.
+
+
+3.1 Machine Widget Interconnections
+-----------------------------------
+Machine widget interconnections are created in the same way as codec ones and
+directly connect the codec pins to machine level widgets.
+
+e.g. connects the speaker out codec pins to the internal speaker.
+
+	/* ext speaker connected to codec pins LOUT2, ROUT2  */
+	{"Ext Spk", NULL , "ROUT2"},
+	{"Ext Spk", NULL , "LOUT2"},
+
+This allows the DAPM to power on and off pins that are connected (and in use)
+and pins that are NC respectively.
+
+
+4 Endpoint Widgets
+===================
+An endpoint is a start or end point (widget) of an audio signal within the
+machine and includes the codec. e.g.
+
+ o Headphone Jack
+ o Internal Speaker
+ o Internal Mic
+ o Mic Jack
+ o Codec Pins
+
+When a codec pin is NC it can be marked as not used with a call to
+
+snd_soc_dapm_set_endpoint(codec, "Widget Name", 0);
+
+The last argument is 0 for inactive and 1 for active. This way the pin and its
+input widget will never be powered up and consume power.
+
+This also applies to machine widgets. e.g. if a headphone is connected to a
+jack then the jack can be marked active. If the headphone is removed, then
+the headphone jack can be marked inactive.
+
+
+5 DAPM Widget Events
+====================
+
+Some widgets can register their interest with the DAPM core in PM events.
+e.g. A Speaker with an amplifier registers a widget so the amplifier can be
+powered only when the spk is in use.
+
+/* turn speaker amplifier on/off depending on use */
+static int corgi_amp_event(struct snd_soc_dapm_widget *w, int event)
+{
+	gpio_set_value(CORGI_GPIO_APM_ON, SND_SOC_DAPM_EVENT_ON(event));
+	return 0;
+}
+
+/* corgi machine dapm widgets */
+static const struct snd_soc_dapm_widget wm8731_dapm_widgets =
+	SND_SOC_DAPM_SPK("Ext Spk", corgi_amp_event);
+
+Please see soc-dapm.h for all other widgets that support events.
+
+
+5.1 Event types
+---------------
+
+The following event types are supported by event widgets.
+
+/* dapm event types */
+#define SND_SOC_DAPM_PRE_PMU	0x1 	/* before widget power up */
+#define SND_SOC_DAPM_POST_PMU	0x2		/* after widget power up */
+#define SND_SOC_DAPM_PRE_PMD	0x4 	/* before widget power down */
+#define SND_SOC_DAPM_POST_PMD	0x8		/* after widget power down */
+#define SND_SOC_DAPM_PRE_REG	0x10	/* before audio path setup */
+#define SND_SOC_DAPM_POST_REG	0x20	/* after audio path setup */

+ASoC Machine Driver
+===================
+
+The ASoC machine (or board) driver is the code that glues together the platform
+and codec drivers.
+
+The machine driver can contain codec and platform specific code. It registers
+the audio subsystem with the kernel as a platform device and is represented by
+the following struct:-
+
+/* SoC machine */
+struct snd_soc_machine {
+	char *name;
+
+	int (*probe)(struct platform_device *pdev);
+	int (*remove)(struct platform_device *pdev);
+
+	/* the pre and post PM functions are used to do any PM work before and
+	 * after the codec and DAIs do any PM work. */
+	int (*suspend_pre)(struct platform_device *pdev, pm_message_t state);
+	int (*suspend_post)(struct platform_device *pdev, pm_message_t state);
+	int (*resume_pre)(struct platform_device *pdev);
+	int (*resume_post)(struct platform_device *pdev);
+
+	/* machine stream operations */
+	struct snd_soc_ops *ops;
+
+	/* CPU <--> Codec DAI links  */
+	struct snd_soc_dai_link *dai_link;
+	int num_links;
+};
+
+probe()/remove()
+----------------
+probe/remove are optional. Do any machine specific probe here.
+
+
+suspend()/resume()
+------------------
+The machine driver has pre and post versions of suspend and resume to take care
+of any machine audio tasks that have to be done before or after the codec, DAIs
+and DMA is suspended and resumed. Optional.
+
+
+Machine operations
+------------------
+The machine specific audio operations can be set here. Again this is optional.
+
+
+Machine DAI Configuration
+-------------------------
+The machine DAI configuration glues all the codec and CPU DAIs together. It can
+also be used to set up the DAI system clock and for any machine related DAI
+initialisation e.g. the machine audio map can be connected to the codec audio
+map, unconnected codec pins can be set as such. Please see corgi.c, spitz.c
+for examples.
+
+struct snd_soc_dai_link is used to set up each DAI in your machine. e.g.
+
+/* corgi digital audio interface glue - connects codec <--> CPU */
+static struct snd_soc_dai_link corgi_dai = {
+	.name = "WM8731",
+	.stream_name = "WM8731",
+	.cpu_dai = &pxa_i2s_dai,
+	.codec_dai = &wm8731_dai,
+	.init = corgi_wm8731_init,
+	.ops = &corgi_ops,
+};
+
+struct snd_soc_machine then sets up the machine with it's DAIs. e.g.
+
+/* corgi audio machine driver */
+static struct snd_soc_machine snd_soc_machine_corgi = {
+	.name = "Corgi",
+	.dai_link = &corgi_dai,
+	.num_links = 1,
+};
+
+
+Machine Audio Subsystem
+-----------------------
+
+The machine soc device glues the platform, machine and codec driver together.
+Private data can also be set here. e.g.
+
+/* corgi audio private data */
+static struct wm8731_setup_data corgi_wm8731_setup = {
+	.i2c_address = 0x1b,
+};
+
+/* corgi audio subsystem */
+static struct snd_soc_device corgi_snd_devdata = {
+	.machine = &snd_soc_machine_corgi,
+	.platform = &pxa2xx_soc_platform,
+	.codec_dev = &soc_codec_dev_wm8731,
+	.codec_data = &corgi_wm8731_setup,
+};
+
+
+Machine Power Map
+-----------------
+
+The machine driver can optionally extend the codec power map and to become an
+audio power map of the audio subsystem. This allows for automatic power up/down
+of speaker/HP amplifiers, etc. Codec pins can be connected to the machines jack
+sockets in the machine init function. See soc/pxa/spitz.c and dapm.txt for
+details.
+
+
+Machine Controls
+----------------
+
+Machine specific audio mixer controls can be added in the DAI init function.

+ALSA SoC Layer
+==============
+
+The overall project goal of the ALSA System on Chip (ASoC) layer is to
+provide better ALSA support for embedded system-on-chip processors (e.g.
+pxa2xx, au1x00, iMX, etc) and portable audio codecs.  Prior to the ASoC
+subsystem there was some support in the kernel for SoC audio, however it
+had some limitations:-
+
+  * Codec drivers were often tightly coupled to the underlying SoC
+    CPU. This is not ideal and leads to code duplication - for example,
+    Linux had different wm8731 drivers for 4 different SoC platforms.
+
+  * There was no standard method to signal user initiated audio events (e.g.
+    Headphone/Mic insertion, Headphone/Mic detection after an insertion
+    event). These are quite common events on portable devices and often require
+    machine specific code to re-route audio, enable amps, etc., after such an
+    event.
+
+  * Drivers tended to power up the entire codec when playing (or
+    recording) audio. This is fine for a PC, but tends to waste a lot of
+    power on portable devices. There was also no support for saving
+    power via changing codec oversampling rates, bias currents, etc.
+
+
+ASoC Design
+===========
+
+The ASoC layer is designed to address these issues and provide the following
+features :-
+
+  * Codec independence. Allows reuse of codec drivers on other platforms
+    and machines.
+
+  * Easy I2S/PCM audio interface setup between codec and SoC. Each SoC
+    interface and codec registers it's audio interface capabilities with the
+    core and are subsequently matched and configured when the application
+    hardware parameters are known.
+
+  * Dynamic Audio Power Management (DAPM). DAPM automatically sets the codec to
+    its minimum power state at all times. This includes powering up/down
+    internal power blocks depending on the internal codec audio routing and any
+    active streams.
+
+  * Pop and click reduction. Pops and clicks can be reduced by powering the
+    codec up/down in the correct sequence (including using digital mute). ASoC
+    signals the codec when to change power states.
+
+  * Machine specific controls: Allow machines to add controls to the sound card
+    (e.g. volume control for speaker amplifier).
+
+To achieve all this, ASoC basically splits an embedded audio system into 3
+components :-
+
+  * Codec driver: The codec driver is platform independent and contains audio
+    controls, audio interface capabilities, codec DAPM definition and codec IO
+    functions.
+
+  * Platform driver: The platform driver contains the audio DMA engine and audio
+    interface drivers (e.g. I2S, AC97, PCM) for that platform.
+
+  * Machine driver: The machine driver handles any machine specific controls and
+    audio events (e.g. turning on an amp at start of playback).

+ASoC Platform Driver
+====================
+
+An ASoC platform driver can be divided into audio DMA and SoC DAI configuration
+and control. The platform drivers only target the SoC CPU and must have no board
+specific code.
+
+Audio DMA
+=========
+
+The platform DMA driver optionally supports the following ALSA operations:-
+
+/* SoC audio ops */
+struct snd_soc_ops {
+	int (*startup)(struct snd_pcm_substream *);
+	void (*shutdown)(struct snd_pcm_substream *);
+	int (*hw_params)(struct snd_pcm_substream *, struct snd_pcm_hw_params *);
+	int (*hw_free)(struct snd_pcm_substream *);
+	int (*prepare)(struct snd_pcm_substream *);
+	int (*trigger)(struct snd_pcm_substream *, int);
+};
+
+The platform driver exports its DMA functionality via struct snd_soc_platform:-
+
+struct snd_soc_platform {
+	char *name;
+
+	int (*probe)(struct platform_device *pdev);
+	int (*remove)(struct platform_device *pdev);
+	int (*suspend)(struct platform_device *pdev, struct snd_soc_cpu_dai *cpu_dai);
+	int (*resume)(struct platform_device *pdev, struct snd_soc_cpu_dai *cpu_dai);
+
+	/* pcm creation and destruction */
+	int (*pcm_new)(struct snd_card *, struct snd_soc_codec_dai *, struct snd_pcm *);
+	void (*pcm_free)(struct snd_pcm *);
+
+	/* platform stream ops */
+	struct snd_pcm_ops *pcm_ops;
+};
+
+Please refer to the ALSA driver documentation for details of audio DMA.
+http://www.alsa-project.org/~iwai/writing-an-alsa-driver/c436.htm
+
+An example DMA driver is soc/pxa/pxa2xx-pcm.c
+
+
+SoC DAI Drivers
+===============
+
+Each SoC DAI driver must provide the following features:-
+
+ 1) Digital audio interface (DAI) description
+ 2) Digital audio interface configuration
+ 3) PCM's description
+ 4) SYSCLK configuration
+ 5) Suspend and resume (optional)
+
+Please see codec.txt for a description of items 1 - 4.

+Audio Pops and Clicks
+=====================
+
+Pops and clicks are unwanted audio artifacts caused by the powering up and down
+of components within the audio subsystem. This is noticeable on PCs when an
+audio module is either loaded or unloaded (at module load time the sound card is
+powered up and causes a popping noise on the speakers).
+
+Pops and clicks can be more frequent on portable systems with DAPM. This is
+because the components within the subsystem are being dynamically powered
+depending on the audio usage and this can subsequently cause a small pop or
+click every time a component power state is changed.
+
+
+Minimising Playback Pops and Clicks
+===================================
+
+Playback pops in portable audio subsystems cannot be completely eliminated
+currently, however future audio codec hardware will have better pop and click
+suppression.  Pops can be reduced within playback by powering the audio
+components in a specific order. This order is different for startup and
+shutdown and follows some basic rules:-
+
+ Startup Order :- DAC --> Mixers --> Output PGA --> Digital Unmute
+
+ Shutdown Order :- Digital Mute --> Output PGA --> Mixers --> DAC
+
+This assumes that the codec PCM output path from the DAC is via a mixer and then
+a PGA (programmable gain amplifier) before being output to the speakers.
+
+
+Minimising Capture Pops and Clicks
+==================================
+
+Capture artifacts are somewhat easier to get rid as we can delay activating the
+ADC until all the pops have occurred. This follows similar power rules to
+playback in that components are powered in a sequence depending upon stream
+startup or shutdown.
+
+ Startup Order - Input PGA --> Mixers --> ADC
+
+ Shutdown Order - ADC --> Mixers --> Input PGA
+
+
+Zipper Noise
+============
+An unwanted zipper noise can occur within the audio playback or capture stream
+when a volume control is changed near its maximum gain value. The zipper noise
+is heard when the gain increase or decrease changes the mean audio signal
+amplitude too quickly. It can be minimised by enabling the zero cross setting
+for each volume control. The ZC forces the gain change to occur when the signal
+crosses the zero amplitude line.
